Removing nails from fine woodwork.
The easiest way I have found to remove nails from woodwork that you want to reuse is to use a bench vise. Tighten the vise on the nails and using the woodwork as a lever slowly pull the nails on through and out the back of the board. Most of the time this will leave the original wood putty intact and if the piece splinters it will be on the back of the board. A lot easier on the hands too. Gayle D. Myrick
