How to remove nailheads from furniture?
Question:
Answers:
Do not remove them. With a nail set, drive them below the surface then fill with a good wood putty then stain to match.
two ways. Tap then in with a small hammer, when it gets close to being flush get a small screw driver and put it on the nail head and tap the nail into the wood. The second is to get wire cutters and cut as much of the nail off as possible, then tap in the remaining.
If this is intended to completely remove a nail, then use nail pliers, put a small piece of plywood, or other laminate, so you won't damage the surface, the press the nail and pull it off by supporting the pliers over the small piece of plywood. This is the most accurate way to remove a nail, and if you need to saw the piece of wood, then there's no risk of chipping your saw or router bit.
What kind of nail heads? If you are talking about the trim, it comes 2 ways. One is individual ones. The only way to do them is one-by-one with a pair of pliers. If they are the strip kind, use a screw driver to find a space. They are only attached every 4-5, or so. Lift up with the screwdriver, then pull with pliers.
