Joining two pieces of wood with nails leaves the head sticking out, especially if you join them at a 45 degree angle.
Introducing the dual sided nail. Looking like two nails joined at the top, you take the two-spiked nail, and insert one end into a special cylinder that allows you to pound it into
a piece of wood without blunting a spike. Then you pound it in. Then you place the second piece of wood on top and smack it really hard to join them together in an oak/maple matrimony.
this mentions double-ended nails...

I nearly posted something similar some months back but found they are baked. |
|
| |
cannot find the damned things now... |

Hammer nails half in. Angled cut with a wire cutter. Place second piece of wood on top. Hammer. Done. |

There are some rather nice double ended screws that I used to mount the wooden balls on to my newell posts on my staircase. |

[po] indeed. [mfd] was removed! Let's see! |

You would have to be deadly accurate to fasten a mitre joint using your
idea. Once you hammer the second piece of timber onto the spikes, that's
it! How would you line them up with any precision? |

| |
Much relieved, I thought this was going to be about fingernails... |
|
| |
I'm sorry, I don't know if it would be considered baked,
but
I just do what neeladan does. |

pay attention to your typing? |
|
| |
you could edit and make me look a complete twat in the morning! :) |

That I can...what mistake was that? |
