Product Details
Our Silicon Bronze nails (also referred to as bronze boat nails or ring shank nails) are threaded with annular ring barbs to create a locking effect and resist pull out stresses. This thread form provides holding power comparable to wood screws with maximum back-out resistance.
We recommended silicon bronze ring shank nails for wood or plywood joints where maximum resistance to withdrawal loads is required. The ringed design prevents the nails from being pushed out when wooden planks and joints swell in marine conditions. Choose from 12 different ring nail lengths for your next repair or project.
Note: Not recommended where shear, lateral or racking loads are significant, or for end-grain nailing.

I am using these as an exact replacement to fasten new old style clog leather sides (32 pieces) in an old racing 8 shell. I did not want to use stainless against the leather.

After I removed the wall Panels the Termites has taken all the frame structure and ate it! Ha Ha The Job now is goin to be a little more than I expected! I have to reinforce the base of the wall and Jack it up back to 4-6 inches after I replace all the frame Gussets! I will take pictures cause normally the house boat would go to the Bone Yard! Wish me luck cause I know of no one who has ever did this before! Yes I will buy more stuff! Ha Ha

Not All Ring Nails Are Equal
5 years ago
We are building a ply on frame 20'LOA cuddy cabin flat bottom dory in our backyard. We originally purchased ring nails from another supplier and was not very impressed with the quality of the nails they sold us. We ordered these ring nails from JD and were very happy with the results which led us to believe that not all ring nails are equal. These ring nails were a bit harder and less prone to bending - this made of our bottom planking task easier. We are very happy with the results and yes. . . JD has quality ring nails at a competitive price!

I used these nails as rivets to reproduce armor. i found that it is easier for me to anneal them as they come with a temper (which makes them great for nails).

Im rebuilding an old wood and canvas canoe, needed to replace the inwales. I used white ash for the inwales and the ribs are white cedar. Worked perfectly. Before installing on the canoe I made some test pieces and did some destructive testing. I found that I needed to drill 1/16"" pilot hole for the 15 gage nails that I used. In the test pieces the wood broke before the nails pulled out, in shear the wood usually split before the nail sheared. the nails are a real bear to pull, so predrill and and be sure of where your putting them

Loving These Nails!
7 years ago
This is the first time I've used small ring nails instead of screws for fastening planking to longitudinal battens. I wish I'd done this a long time ago. You might need a dolly, like a car body shop uses, to back up the batten as you drive the nails between frames. They sell one here, but I see it's on clearance so it may be gone by the time you read this. I made one 30 years ago for copper rivet and rove fastening by filling a 2"" steel pipe cap with melted lead. Still working as good as it ever did.

Q: Website gives approximate count and price/pound. I'm wondering if I can buy less than a full pound? Or are these sold in 100-count boxes but that's been left off the description? Other fasteners are described that way: box of 100, for $XX.xx per box. I need maybe 300 max., would prefer not having to buy 2x+ times what I expect to use.
5 years ago1 Answer
A: I can't answer if they might sell less than a pound but I don't see any options like that on the web site. They definitely are sold by weight, not count. I have a lifetime supply myself.

Q: I was looking at these nails on line the specs sections says stainless steel ?
9 years ago7 Answers
A: The Maritime Museum of San Diego purchased silicon bronze ring-shank nails from Jamestown and found them suitable for our purposes. As the current online specification references 316 Stainless steel, I would confirm from Jamestown Distributors whether the spec or product description is in error, but our order arrived as silicon bronze.

Q: how are they made?
10 years ago2 Answers
A: They look like they're forged. They're softer than steel nails so be sure to predrill before driving them. They have a fairly large head so don't look at them as a finish nail. You can set them somewhat with a punch and putty/epoxy over. They develop a nice green patina over time especially if used to secure leathers.
