I am considering buying a brad nailer, perhaps a Senco or Paslode.
However, lots of folks make fun of Norm for using his "too much".
There is a small jewelry box I want to make for my daughter. It is basically a scaled down version of a Shaker blanket chest. There is some molding around the top, and the bottom base which are both brad nailed to the main chest with a nailgun. The molding needs to be nailed vs. glue due to cross grain problems.
I can see a few other situations where a brad nailer would come in useful, however, on a larger shaker piece, I want to learn how to use sliding dovetail trim attachments such as those by Becksvoort and Moser.
So, if I use a brad nailer from time to time, is it a woodworking faux pas?
I would like to hear your opinions on this matter.
Thanks in advance.
