How to fit glazing beads without nails showing?

I dont think ours likes either. His dad was some well known police dog from the US. We had the police round a couple of months back, even they couldnt believe the size of him. Everyone thats comes to the door almost drops one on the doorstep

Some dogs like children, so I could take a child for him to eat.

Push pin, my dad had one and I inherited it when he passed

Are they the sprung loaded ones that you pull back and simultaneously punch the pin down as you release the body?

Do you have a pic or a link to what one is please? Google doesnt seem to be giving me the right thing.

No you place a pin in a hollow spring loaded tube and just press down and as it retracts a fixed plunger inside pushes the pin into the wood

When you got really good you could judge the amount of pressure required just to sink in below the surface or a couple of light taps with a mallet would also work, it saves bashing your fingers when trying to hold a small pin and you don't bruise the wood

In the space of 4 years, I went from having 3 dogs to no dogs. Value what you have, whilst you can. 5 years after losing the first, I am still incapable discussing things. I lost my babies. I will never recover from the loss. My eyes are becoming wet as I sit in the pub and type this.

I am gonna duck out of this conversation, primarily because crying in the pub is bit embarrassing....
