    Super helpful video! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this. It's helped me immensely. Do you have a pair of canvas pliers that you recommend? I can't seem to find a good one.

    What do you do if the v nailer is creating space between the corners?

      No idea, it's just a mill. I was buying them through a wholesaler here in Portland. Im done using them though. Im much happier with the bars I have shipped up from LA for a lower price. It's more about the softer corners than it is about the price, I just really need the softer corners.

      @@phototocanvaspdx cool, thanks. I am a "master" woodworker but I'd rather spend my time painting.

    Hey thank you for sharing your knowledge. What compressor do you use for the nailer?

      compressor shouldn't matter too much for this size of job. I have a small porter cable pancake compressor from home depot and a large capacity compressor and they're only different on how long it can push nails before it needs to re-compress air. It also is important to size it right for spraying paint if you do. But for finish nailing, a small one is the same in my opinion.

    This is actually a strainer, not a stretcher. Stretchers have loose corners that can be expanded by keys to increase the canvas tension.

      All of my suppliers refer to them as stretcher bars, as well as the artists I work with.

    What size of staples do you use? I've got regular pneumatic finish nail guns but don't have a stapler. I see porter cable has a 1 inch and a 1.5 inch 18 gauge stapler.

      oh is this the v-nailer you used in other videos?

      Vnailer for corners. T50 or upholstery staples for canvas

      Sorry, let me clarify. I see that v nails come in different sizes like 10mm or 12mm. How do I know what size to get?
