Gay pride nails cute2/10/2024 I vaguely recall seeing a hand tool in an antique shop a few years back that looked similar to a T-handle allen wrench but with the tip ground with a short section of flutes, tapered as I recall, to hog out a tapered hole. The question being how did the old-timers drill a tapered hole, if indeed they did, or is drilling a smaller hole and pounding the heck out of the nail the only option? If I drill a smaller hole, I have to pound the living heck out of them to get them set. If I drill a hole large enough for the thick end of the nail, it's too big for the bottom half of the nail and they lose all holding power. While they've worked, I've been stymied by how to go about drilling a proper pilot hole that matches with the wedge shape of the nail. So I've used some cut nails in the last few pieces of furniture I've made.
