Copper Common Nails

I'm happy to submit my view of dealing with Fairwind. I have purchased modest quantities of Silicon Bronze ring shank nails, smooth nails, assorted SB screws, multiple head shapes, sizes, and drives and the products are first class, the packaging is elite and aesthetically pleasing equal to or better than Reed & Prince packaging and the delivery time is on fire....ALSO---The prices are very cool. I am happy to be a customer even if just a small time buyer. All the Best to You!

These copper nails are consistent and finely made.

Very helpful staff. Great service. Quality products.

These are very good quality common nails. I have also order the 4D (1 1/2")
copper common nails from them as well which were also great quality. There were very well packaged and shipped very quickly. I like to use them, along with silicone window/door flashing caulk to secure older/used copper flashing (like the skylight flashing in my son's backyard shed when re-roofing it) since the "common" nail head is much smaller than the nail head on a regular roofing nail. These cooper nails are also useful in some other smaller outdoor wood projects I have done where they are more resistant to corrosion then galvanized nails since I live near the ocean and the salt tends to get into the air/wind/rain, etc.

quick and easy,good price , just what I ordered in a timely fashion and they sent an actual invoice with the price on it.

I'm not sure what I'll do with the huge copper nail I bought but it's pretty cool. If you order this item you will get exactly what the description says.

The right products at a good price.
Keep it up!

Order arrived very quickly and were just what I needed. Excellent all around.

A pleasure dealing with Fair Wind Fasteners

I was so relieved to find that Fair Wind had these and they sent them right away. Now we can move ahead finishing our Chaisson dory tender build. Tks

Purchased nails for upgrade of weatherstripping material, on old double hung windows

Our company is installing over 500 lineal feet of 6 1/2 ft wide highly customized copper soffit and the cooper trim nails we received blend perfectly and work like they should.

The copper trim nails are perfect for the copper accessories being installed around the exterior of the home we’re repairing.

Nails worked wonderfully for rebuilding a 50 year old cupola. Thank You!

The copper nails are very high quality and fit the need for me. I purchased them before and was very satisfied with them.

I've ordered copper nails and burrs (and roves) for riveting, more than once from FairWinds,
and they have always delivered their high-quality hardware swiftly.
I've never been dissatisfied with the results.

Nails and Roves

Although I am moving into boat building, the nails I purchased from Fair Wind are being incorporated into a sculpture. Rob was very helpful in instructing and directing me on how to use the nails and burrs.
Thanks Fair Wind

Received items quicker than first indicated. Product was exactly what I expected. Very well packed for shipping to avoid spillage.

We are a non-profit youth educational organization in Green Bay, Wisconsin that using copper nails in most of our woodworking classes. Fair Wind Fasteners are a perfect fit for our educational experience.

I build lapstrake plank on frame sailing dinghies (as a hobby, since I can't figure out how to ever make money doing this). Fair Wind is a great source for the copper rivets, roves, and clench nails I use.

The nails are great. Hard to find copper hardware but Fair Wind has some great stuff. I'll be ordering again.

Good product, fast shipping!

Copper Common Nails

Common nails are usually made of steel, but wooden boat builders need fasteners that will not rust or corrode. A traditional way to hold boat planks, rails, knees and other parts together is with copper rivets which the builder makes out of nails. The metal stands up to a watery environment but is soft enough to form by hand while being quite strong under tension. A hole is drilled through the two parts to be joined, a copper nail which fits snugly is pushed through the hole, then a copper rove - essentially a washer - is forced over the pointy end. The end of the nail is clipped off, and with the head of the nail backed up with a heavy piece of iron the clipped end is peened over against the rove. Now the rivet has two heads and is quite strong.
Fair Winds offers a selection of copper nails and roves (as well as silicon bronze screws) of good quality and at very reasonable prices, plus they are nice people to deal with. I'm glad I found them!

Very nicely made nails that peen over very easily for beautiful rivets.

Rob was extremely helpful and answered all my questions the first time I called. Hard to find that type of customer service these days. Nails and burrs arrived exactly as described and even included some red cedar seeds so I could plant my own trees!

Super service and products

The product at Fair WInd was far superior to anything I could find locally. I was nailing an expensive custom copper bar top to plywood. With the possibility of spilled drinks in the future, I could not risk a "galvanic reaction" between the nails and copper top. Fair Wind's copper nails are pure copper, not the "copper plated" junk you find on Amazon and the big box stores. This gives me tremendous peace of mind going forward. Their minimum order is just $15, but because their bulk prices are so reasonable, I had to order more than twice what I needed, just to make the minimum. I gladly did that, and strongly recommend this vendor. Shipping was fast and reasonable.

They look good. Haven't gotten to use them yet...
