Having done this mys<font face="Arial">elf, I would agree with Ron
- practice<font face="Arial">, practice, practice. I also
believe that it is <br>
<font face="Arial">best to glue the parts in place first and
let the glue dry, then add the nails. Again, as Ron says,<br>
<font face="Arial">you can drill some small holes for the
nails rather than trying to drive them in strai<font
face="Arial">ght and<br>
<font face="Arial">risk cracking the wood. The nails
probably will not add much in the way of st<font
face="Arial">reng<font face="Arial">th<font
face="Arial">, <br>
<font face="Arial">especially in light of the
improvement in more modern glues. Another line
of approach,<br>
<font face="Arial">which I h<font face="Arial">aven't
tried, is to use a light duty nail gun. I
don't know if you can get nails that look<br>
<font face="Arial">like the originals,
though.<br>
<br>
<font face="Arial">Good luck,<br>
