1st AnswerNo nails they weren't invented yet. Pegs were used to hold wood together as well as fitting the pieces together as if a puzzle. 2nd AnswerA nail set is a device used to drive finishing nails flush with the surface of the wood. A medieval nail set, if such existed, would have had no nails in it, the same as any other nail set.

There were nails in the middle ages, by the way. They are mentioned in The Bible in several places, including a passage about allocation of iron for nails for the Temple of Solomon. And I am told nails from the true cross were a hot item among people buying and selling religious relics.

3rd Answer

Hand-forged iron nails were made from Roman times (large iron nails were used in crucifixions throughout the Roman world). I have a 3.5 inch 12th century nail from the roof of Lincoln cathedral in my collection - many hundreds of similar nails were originally used in the construction of that roof. Nails were not made in "sets" but in huge numbers by local village blacksmiths, or by smiths employed on specific construction sites.
