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.

Great quality, same as ever

You might think that bronze ring shank nails would be a standard thing. Not so. Jamestown Distributors has proven time and again that what they sell is the real thing and it will meet my expectations. I no longer search around when looking outside my local supply area, I go straight to them and the next thing I know I have what I wanted and it is as described. This has real value to me.

I pre-drilled smaller holes in the mahogany wood so that the nails wouldn't bend over as I hammered them in as they're softer than iron nails.

Manufacturer needs to do QC checks
10 years ago
After recieving this product I became concerned with whether I would have enough nails to finish my job...I then began to count the number of nails in the initial 2 box purchase...both boxes only had 290 nails in them...NOT 302..so I had to order more product causing me to incur unnecessary shipping charges...had I known each box was short on nails I would have ordered more to begin with and saved on the initial shipping...it's bad enough I didn't get what I paid for, but had to pay again to get the same quantity...JD needs to question the manufacturer on their QC and how each box had a low nail count...

Teaching kids to work with their hands. In this case, teaching them that pre-drilling holes with a slightly smaller drill bit makes it easier to pound in the nails.

We're using these to build a Bevins skiff in a hand and power tool training seminar for youngsters. It would have been nice to be able to buy half the amount of nails.

We're using these to build a 12 ft wooden boat that we'll auction or raffle off to get funding for the grade school. The 12 kids involved are learning a lot about wood working, from buying plans to visiting the lumber mill to epoxying, nailing, screwing, varnishing, and painting. Pre-drilling holes for the nails that attached the side panels to the stem was an eye opener for some of the kids.

The box lid came loose in shipping. Nails everywhere!! The nails were great, just what I ordered for my boat. I'm SOOOOO GLAD they are hard to get out. That's why I ordered ring shanks.

Silicon Bronze Ring Nails

I used these nails to create a look similiar to copper nails and roves on my gunwales. Pre-drill nail holes,especially in hardwoods, a bit smaller than shank to avoid splitting your wood trim. I drilled from both sides and drove the nails towards each other in order to center them on the inner and outer 'wales. Only split 2 of 30 spacers holding inner 'wale away from top strake of boat..easily fixed with epoxy and clamp. I also dipped them in epoxy before I drove them home to seal the holes from any water intrusion. They really look great after a little burnishing with superfine sandpaper and a coat of epoxy followed by varnish.

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.
9 years agoHelpful?
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.
