TIP, TRICKS & INFO

Nailing Tips

 

1. To avoid splitting wood when working near the end, cut the wood slightly larger, nail, then saw off the excess.

2. Do not nail into the same line of grain more than once as this tends to split the wood.

3. When nailing into hardwood, always drill guide holes slightly smaller than the thickness of the nail.

This avoids splitting the wood.
