If you have a supply of old-fashioned "sandpaper" and wish you had read this
thread before you bought all of it...then you can greatly extend that
sandpaper's useful life by putting duct tape on the back of the paper. It
thickens the subsurface. RichG

Neat tip - I'll try that this winter.

It's not a real summer unless you have to visit the ER with blood
pouring out of some new orifice.

I didn't visit the ER, but I've had my fair share of holes. Was gutting the
pool cabana for a remodel and it seems *every* stray nail wanted a piece of
me. I got three holes in one day. Even had a 2x4 swing on some old romex
come 360 and stuck me from behind. It was all kind of funny except for the
nail holes. Later when I was burning the scrap I saw one of the stained
nails as I was tossing a piece into the bonfire. Made me shake my head as I
threw that piece in.

There is one thing that I have never done and never will because I
will never use one.

What, I hear you asking, would that be?

A nail gun.

I know, without even thinking about it, that I would manage to shoot
myself with one, saftey switch or no safety switch.

Same here. Never will use one.

I can hurt myself plenty without the aid of more power tools.
