A bonded strip of similar rod-like members like nails comprise a plurality of shanks aligned in an adjacent side-by-side flat parallel array, each shank having a longitudinal cylindrical shank. The shanks define at one end, a head of larger transverse dimension than the shank along most of the head transverse dimension while also communicating with a point on the circumference of the shank so that 2 adjacent nails so formed may be placed so that the shanks are preferably juxtaposed and are held by a bonding material surrounding each shank and interjoining the next with a meniscus so as to hold the strip rigid. The bonding material preferably has a melting temperature above ambient temperature during normal working conditions. In order to achieve the bonded strip the nails are collated into side-by-side relation with the flat head of one nail overlapping that of the other and preferably the head of each nail defining at least one point on the perimeter thereof of the nail that is coincident with the shank of the nail. A portion of the shank and tip of the nail are emmersed in a solution which solidifies at normal room temperature and thus acts as a rigid bonding agent to hold the nails juxtaposed, heads overlapping. The range so structured is rigid and the adhesive, if molten zinc, is on extremely cheap bonding agent.
