Merry Christmas and iPhone App(s)

First of all, Merry Christmas to you all.

Anyone using smartphone apps for woodworking? If so, what are your
recommendations of a good app, specifically for the iPhone?

Thanks

If you only did it four or five times, you lead a sheltered life but
that's not the point.

It also says "Minimum Order Quantity: 2000 Piece/Pieces".

I'll stick with the pliers idea.

If there are any of you guys that still have hair and use a comb, the
teeth can be used to hold a small nail.

Reminds me of a neighbor kid who wanted to learn some basic carpenterin'
techniques. It happened that I was building a ten by ten shed
(including porch). I had him on the roof nailing in the shingles. He
seemed to be doing quite well except that he hit his thumb twice while I
watched. Turns out he was holding the nail in place, not only to get it
started, but all the way down. Guess I thought that common sense would
rule. Not at age 13. Aside: he joined the army out of high school and
is doing very well.
mahalo,

In my life? Certainly. Countless times.

Once, I was putting the finishing touches on a garage I was building.
I was working at about 5:30 on a December weeknight (after work)
trying to finish up the sofit and facia. It was perhaps 30F and the
aluminum nails are short. I whacked my (frozen) fingers and came off
the latter like a shot. My wife was standing by, laughing. Not a
smart thing to do given that I was still holding the hammer.

I used to tell her that after whacking my thumb that I was "allowed"
to say anything that came to mind.

I must have smashed my fingers or thumbs with hammer 4 or 5 times in my
youth. I still have a pretty good recollection of what it felt like,
and I'm glad to have mostly-learned a few lessons early. Let he who is
without scars cast the first stone! : )

The comments above remind me of the story about the neighbor who
borrowed a hand drill, and then complained to the loaner for not warning
him after he drilled through a board and into his hand! Someone should
have maybe given him a hammer to play with when he was little!

The impulse "to move" must be biological huh? It's not like you need to
be taught how to do it! ; )

I don't want to sound like a sissy, but sometime I hold small nails with
a piece of paper, which easily tears away.
