1) Submitted by Jim Elwood, from Reynolds, NE on 6/18/2009 Customer Rating: I have recently purchased a quick release wood vise and antique box nails from Rockler. I handcraft log furniture and the vise works fantastic. I can put a fairly good size log in it to hand peel and sand with no problem. The nails really add a nice touch to my furniture. I only use cedar logs and cedar planking, so the black old style nails look really sweet. Thanks for the quality products and excellent service. When I need something, I go to Rockler first. I have also purchased a signature iron from this company (sign all my work.

2) Submitted by Bonnie, from Whitefish, MT on 11/27/2008 Customer Rating: I made a serving tray for Christmas, which needed a special something to pull it all together. Your nails gave the tray exactly what I was looking for. I was so pleased with the end result that I made a second tray. Thank you so much, I'm looking for my next project to show off these great nails! Serving Trays (click to see full-size picture in new window)

3) Submitted by Jason Johnson, from Charleston, SC on 12/17/2007 Customer Rating: We used the nails to help build a mock blacksmith shop for our church Christmas party. They looked authentic to the time period and we gave many away as keepsakes. I will definitely think about using more products from Rockler in the future.

4) Submitted by Carl Bergman, from Cincinnati, OH on 8/14/2009 Customer Rating: I was restoring an antique chest that had missing hinge cut nails and several smaller cut nails in the sides. I could only find 5/8" and 1 1/2"cut nails in small quanities on the Rockler web site. Most sites required you to buy 10 lbs, while I only needed a half dozen of each. The Rockler cut nail heads were too big but after some grinding that now look like the orginals. The 1 1/2" nails were pliable so I could bend them for the hinge nails. If I could have found cut nails with the right sized heads, I would have rated this product excellent but with a little work,my project and the nails came out Very Good!

5) Submitted by John Bortniak, from Germantown, MD on 3/12/2008 Customer Rating: I built some 18th century field chests for reenactments. The rosehead nails give that authentic look and the black iron looks very much like real forged nails from a blacksmith. Everyone who has seen these nails was quite impressed with them. Only Rockler offers anything quite like these and the price is right. I highly recommend.
