Thanks

Why would you need to buy them double pointed?
Just take a normal brad, pound down part way, and clip off the end with a pair of diagonal cutters - forming the second point.
Keeps from dulling the point you pound on too!

FWIW, double pointed brads (homemade of course) were the old time WWers solution to what we call dowel points today, they marked both sets of holes before drilling the dowel holes.
