Has anybody found a way of removing brad nails from wood. I bought a large oak entertainment center at a yard sale to use to make some shop cabinets. $10 for at least a sheet and a half worth of good oak ply, plus some solid oak (doors/trim) and a set of casters.
It came apart easily and there was a lot of thick solid oak trim held on with 18g brads. If I try and knock them back out they just bend and if I try pulling them through they break. I dont want to leave the brads there as they will just ruin my jointer/planer knives when I come to redimension.
I guess I could try and drill them out and then fill the holes.
Any other smart ideas?
