I think you have 2 choices on this one. :doh:

1. Pre drill before driving nail.

2. Use a better grade of nail, possibly concrete nail.

hope this helps

Cheers  :beer:

Ok Don,

Will give those suggestions a try. But don't wait for an answer right away. :)

What do you mean? I can't see you have done anything wrong.

What a great project, frugalistic house furniture.

I await your finishing the project, just two more holes to drill, and it will be ready for mounting on the wall.

I also like the dual purpose use as well, with the perfect selection of nail length and bending angle, so that it can be used as either a hat OR coat hanger.

I've got to make me a few of those. :thumbup:

All great ideas Bogs. Think I'll hang it up in the shop and hang my shop apron on it. Thanks. :D

I think your little joke proves my point exactly. Not everyone has to be a master craftsman to get recognition.

Even the lowliest of efforts by one person can mean the world to him, so why shouldn't he get praise for his handiwork, rather than riducule?

Lack of money, facilities and raw materials, or even ability, doesn't mean that person can't enjoy what he wants to do.

It seems that if your are into sucking slugs, it gets a lot more response than the very good engineering posts that a few members are putting up here.
