So I'm pretty new to building shelves and cabinets. I have a question about the length of nail you'd use.
I was building a shelf for the garage to put paint cans on. I was using 1/2" plywood, glued and brad nailed to together.
The problem was I kept having nails come out of the side of the wood. I made it a point to hold the nail gun as straight as I could.
I started with 1 1/4" nails and switched to 1" and still had the problem.
If you were using 1/2" material what length of nail would you use?
