Fabelhaft!

I'm making similar moves right now working on my shop, but not on purpose....

That is amazing.

But, what if he has to pull a nail out?

Talking Re: Driving an overhead nail w/o a ladder

Aww - that isn't so impressive. He only had three hammers. Try doing that with five, now that is a real trick, Better yet, try doing it with three air guns!

Oh yeah - last time I did that my co-worker did not appreciate the humor in my inaccuracy in hitting the nail on the head. I got a head, but it wasn't on a nail

Re: Driving an overhead nail w/o a ladder

Three hammers? I can do that with a 22 in one shot, at least I could before my eyesight went bad. Might take a bit larger caliber now.
