now, i'll use a nailer to do that, a pneumatic nailer, but, boy, you do not want to tack that and then use the garnet shellac. you do all the pieces separately, and then you tack them in place and glue them. but look at what happens when we use garnet shellac. and you've seen me use this before. and why do i use that? see those burn marks right there? i leave those as accents. that garnet really just blends in and makes it look old and rich. so, i'll get this all shellacked out, and i'll put three coats on, and i'll use a nylon pad between coats to really make it smooth. and this is a pound-and-a-half cut. i have three coats of shellac on all the workpieces, and now i'll just nail the trim in place. i'm using a brad nailer, which is just a fine-wire, 18-gauge nail, and it's an inch and 3/8 long, and i have it on an air compressor. i just tack it in in three places. i do not use glue for this because down the road, if i'd ever need to take it apart and repair it, i can do that. i just make sure this is butted against the surface to the flat board underneath, and i'm in business. and one
