Thats right bout the pratter, and a few really lame jokes dosent hurt to break
the ice, and get the people talkin. I usually start with the leaf, then
alternate between the nail and a drive in hook. drawing the stem of the leaf
leads to a quick draw to finish a nail. A leaf with two punch holes and then
turn the stem into a hook is another alternative. Just keeps ya fresh not doing
the same 3 things all day. I always get the "Can you make a sword" question a
few times so I will throw in a letter opener.
