Contractor has to install a series of moldings to form a crown around all the walls that lay flat on the wall & ceiling rather than at a 45degree, so there is no room for a nailer strip. It has been a long time since I have done installs, so I'm wondering if there is a fastener that can shoot into metal with something like a serated edge to help hold. What are you fellas using these days?? ]]> Jim Tank http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f17/crown-mldg-metal-studs-13178/ http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f17/full-wall-built-desk-12879/ Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:03:57 GMT I have a 12+' long wall in my home office and my goal is run a desktop along the length of this. I'm thinking about taking a whack at some cabinets to go underneath and I can figure that out. I'm really struggling with the desktop though. I want wood and no stone or the composite stuff. However, finding a solid piece of hardwood at that length is both difficult and very expensive.

What's the trick to using 3 4' sections and seaming them together so as to almost appear to be a single piece?

Thanks! ]]> BitBass http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f17/full-wall-built-desk-12879/
