Introduction

You are in your workshop and a neighbor asks to borrow some roofing nails and some Phillips head screws to make some minor repairs.  You, as the master craftsman, immediately know where to look and what to look for…because you have had much experience identifying nails, bolts, screws, and many other types of fasteners.
