Okay, framing isn't something I know much about, but wish I did. What
does the point gun do for you?

Louisa

It's a stapler; you put it flat on the backing in the frame and it
will shoot glazier points (usually diamond shaped) into the frame,
thus holding your work and the backing secure in the frame.

When I do framing at home I use other methods, but if you have a point
gun, the job is much easier, I figured I would never use it enough to
justify buying it or giving it house room.

What other methods do you like to use, Sheena?

Louisa

If there is enough frame left to work with, I will use a regular
stapler then tap them a bit further in. * I have used panel pins
(that's not what they are called here but they are the tiny, rather
weak nails that hardly have a head).

Desk stapler, or staple gun? I know we have a staple gun down in the
workshop.
