    I could only take about 1/2 of the vid. People doing things to try and “go viral” turns me away.

    I own multiple nail guns and enough nails to do this many times ..
    problem I see in his video
    1) whatever shed he’s leaning is against is going to drop water consistently on wood.
    2) what looks like PT 2x6x8 are not going to hold that weight of wood if it’s wet
    3) very few species are rot resistant enough for the bottom piece and what do you do with rounds with 50 nails in them when they rot

    MikeInMa has a lot better plan with cinder blocks
    My black iron pipe set up lasted 10 years

    Looked like the newbies we would hire on construction crews. Ask them to hand drive nails and they'd drive two in a joint (out of four or five started, either bending or shooting the others across the site) and then they'd ask why one wouldn't do just as well. Hand them a nail gun and they'll put 27 nails in the same joint until it is just a metally mess of splinters.

    Maybe he owns stock in the nail company. Sad thing is, I bet we all know someone who would do the same thing in a heartbeat, or worse.

    X2. I hate when they go "light speed" with a nail gun.

    Only needed 3-4 nails per connection point.
