Everyone of these tips I learned from my shop teacher in Grade 7. I'm now 59 and still use them. I also did become a licensed carpenter. He was a great man and a great teacher. When they got rid of shops in most schools 20 years ago, it was the worst mistake for young kids. Yes, not everyone will become a tradesman, but also not everyone will excel at computers or business etc. We still need people to build. I'm at risk of sounding like an old guy, but the last 2 generations are totally lost on practical life skills. Sad.

It seems counter intuitive that a blunt nail or screw will penetrate the wood more cleanly than one with a sharp tip. It works evidently, but it's definitely something I'd have to be told rather than something that I'd be able to work out for myself.

30 years ago, when I was doing an apprenticeship with a carpenter, he made me take a box of nails and hits each one on the sharp end with a hammer. I thought he was winding me up, but the blunted tip on each one would punch through the wood instead of splitting it every time.

@MarkSeifert

2 жыл бұрын

It's a fascinating phenomenon for sure, and I never would have guessed it works this way. I imagine the sharp tip had a tendency to slip between fibers and shove them aside, causing the split... but a blunt tip tends to smash through the fibers.

I always just turn a nail upside down and hit the sharp end with the hammer first. Saves cutting with hand all day if you're doing a lot of nailing or using a larger nail, even common 16 sinkers. Well, actually I learned that when I was 17 , over 37 years ago..lol.. from a 67 yr old retired contractor. So much you can learn from people who've been around for decades..wish I listened more back then. Thanks for your fine video!!👍👍

Selfdrilling screws must be uncommon outside scandinavia... Besides, just use a thinner screw at an angle further in from the edge and you'll be fine, this way you also lower the risk of cracking the wood you're attaching it to, since you go in at an angle and not along with the grain.

No need to cut the tip of the nail. Just tap it with a hammer a little bit, and you'll end up having a squared tip which will give you same results.

Flatten the top of the nail with a hammer instead of cutting it off? Best trick is the last one, so cool.✌

Smart man. Ill stick with pilot holes but this may come in handy when theres no drill.

It has to do with how the wood fibers are broken. A smaller point means there are less damaged fibers so you get more compression (and holding power) on the nail. There really isn't a downside to using that trick with a screw.

Thanks for teaching me this sorcery.

I drill a pilot hole first then I use wood scews or nails. Especially if diameter of the nail or screw is very large. When I mounted a flat screen to the wall I drilled a 1/4 in pilot hole so screw would not split the studs. The screws they provide for the mounting brackets are very stout. The last thing you want is the stud on a load bearing wall to split or be damaged.

Thanks SUPER 👍🏾 God bless you.🙏 RUSSIA.🎶💖🎶

Thanks !

Thank you

iTS so informative..

Built a pair of I-Beam sawhores. Drilled pilot hole for every single screw. The beauty of screws is as the legs rot they can be easily replaced. PT or not they rot.

Great info.

I always predrill holes before/during assembly so I don't have pieces split but I will give credit to your last trick there, nice call.

That's amazing tips

Nails have cutting edges when they are stamped, you place the sharp (cutting) edges across the grain. Blunting the head is an additional step that can be taken. A little Bees wax can also be helpful in sometimes preventing splitting the wood. Fun Fact Levels used to be called 'Whiskey Sticks' because they used whiskey in the bubble so it would not freeze in the winter.

Well I just used impact driver on boards in garage loft that were about same size as this. Couldn't see what was going on below so hope the loft doesn't cave in 😀

One other method to eliminate splitting is to put a clamp across the wood before driving the nail or screw. For example, in this video place the clamp horizontally as you drive vertically. The clamp will prevent the wood from being able to spread, thereby reinforcing the interior grain structure as the fastener goes through.
