the important thing when nailing is to never nail perpendicular, always at a slight angle and each time reverse the angle

Yes, this is good to do when already clamped up.
If nailing before clamping though, best to nail straight, less possible side shifting as the nails act like guide pins. Also clamps don't have to overcome the angled nails.

Now, thats the kind of advice I needed when I was say... 16 or 18!

Thanks. Actually a combination of the two is best. Shoot a few straight nails, clamp up, then do as Harley suggests.

My dad was a cabinet maker. If he saw me nailing all nails perpendicular it was a cuff on the lug-hole for me.

I wasn't nailing Brad! I swear! Just ask my wife!

Good grief - shades of Brokeback Speaker Mounting....

I think we should end this here - it could get a bit rough.

I think so too. It could get a bit rough in the (rear?) end.

Over and out!
