A New Kind of Nail.

I A new kind of nail, for attaching moldings and other light lumber, which leaves no nail-holes, is made with a point at each end and with an outwardly projecting head or shoulder midway between the points. The nail is first driven into the wood by means of a punch, which straddles the protruding point and bears on the head. When enough have been driven in the molding is placed over the nails and driven down.
