Okay, this is the same bull shit I got from google. I understand what they mean by 2d. The d stand for penny weight. All I want to know is if some one tells me to get a pound say 4 penny nails, I want to know the length of this 4 penny nail. Say in the future I want to drive a 4 by 4 post up to another 4 by 4 and want a nail 6 inches long, what would this 6 inch nail be referred to in penny weight? Thanks for your assistance. ----- Original Message ----- From: "chiliblindman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 7:17 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] nails
