Brad nailing?
#1
I will be building my own box for the eD10A.44 that I bought from Johnny T. I built a box for my sons XXX15 using countersunk screws but from what I've read here brads do just fine.
My question for you veteran box builders is this, what size brads do you use and how close to you space them?
Thanks.

I've built a few boxes before, always using drywall screws and countersinking etc. I just picked up a 2" brad nailer, but havnt built a box with it yet. Im guessing you should place them the same spacing as screws, if not put them a little more closer together.

Hmmm... I think your crazy to just use those and no screws... I have never had a box like that last long under heavy pressure... I would only use the nails to get it started and make it easy for the glue to dry than hit it with the drywall screws as well...
