Palm Nailers (again)

[AlliedPianoCraft]

Fenton, don't be hard on yourself. Every time I finish a job, I then figure out how to do if easier and faster. The only problem is that I forget it before I have to do the same job again. Then the cycle begins again.

  Dave,
  The fact that everyone has had a good experience but me with these just 
  proves once again that I know how to make a simple thing very difficult, 
  expensive, and non-productive. Now, if you need help with any of that, like 
  maybe to run up someone's bill, I'm your man.
