Many years ago, 40 plus, we pre-drilled and hand nailed everything! What a phuquing hassle that was! No pecker marks was the key and sometimes not that easy to do!

When I started in construction we used a manual Stanley miter box and didn't have any nail guns. I learned to cut stain-grade crown molding with that thing and got good at it - using an electric miter saw and battery powered trim nailer is easy to me now. I still carry the old Stanley miter box in my construction trailer and use it quite often for a simple cut or two when I don't want to mess with setting up the electric miter saw.

I think I know what you're talking about. They are the things with rollers on them that hold a hardened nail and are used to scratch the mortar out from between the bricks before it hardens fully, right?

They are metal trays I kneel in , wearing knee pads, there is a slot where my toes go and I move my legs as I slide or skate across the slab when I am hand finishing. Awesome workout, but body is too banged up to use them anymore!
