Get a Grip - Options in Fasteners (2 credit hours)
Acquiring the ideals, like love, that bind us together in intangible ways requires giving away a great deal of ourselves. No such sacrifice is required to obtain the nails, screws, bolts, rivets, adhesives, and welds that are used to combine material objects together. The material objects we wish to join together on construction projects are typically made of wood or various metals.    

The first three types of hardware (nails, screws, and bolts) are described as fasteners, since what they join together can be separated without too much material damage to the components. That is not so much the case with rivets, adhesives, and welds. They are intended to create far more permanent connections.   

It is important, when specifying any of these above, to be able to do so using terms which are standard in the industry. It is also important to choose fasteners that are compatible with the project at hand.
