  1. Putting hinges onto a green oak gate post caught me out. It moved as it does so had to reposition a hinge. The exterior grade galvanised screws all sheared off. I used wall plugs on the replacements. No corrosion and removable years later.

  2. I’ve used ring shank nails but found them easy to bend and inconsistent at holding. Not impressed. I don’t have a nail gun so screws are my usual go-to.
