His were delivered on time for the build but the UPS guy apparently hid them under a tarp in his back yard so he didn't find them for months; in the meantime, he used brads to pin the bookcase together while the glue set up, and he spaced the brads so they would be in between where he wanted to put the roman nails. <br /><br />Then he knocked the heads below the wood and the paint filled the holes. When he got the nails, he drilled pilot holes and knocked them in. <br /><br />In your case, you have the nails already, so just do the assembly, let the glue cure, then add in the nails as the final step after painting, almost as a decorative touch (only in this case, it'll be structural as well).Sparkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16822386109798059132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-16026973924418867182017-05-07T17:34:14.317+02:002017-05-07T17:34:14.317+02:00Hi Greg!

Not having to dimensión rough lumber out to be a big time saver.<br /><br />Unless I try to do something crazy like breadboard ends or something.<br /><br />I'll look into the liquid masking tape.

Hi António!<br /><br />We've already found that stuff at Leroy Merlin's, and also El Córte Ingles, which is right across the street.<br /><br />Good idea with the tape. Maybe I can find some little round stickers, they would work, too. <br /><br />I'm trying to afoul painting before I nail because then it for sure won't be finished in time.

I'm sure it would look fine. <br /><br />I went and bought some wood. They didn't have much appropriate pine, so I went with spruce, which I'm not so fond of. I think it means lots of sanding, which I really don't like, rather than planing.
