I have a question about driving in tacks where they are so short that there is
not enough shaft
under the head to be able to hold it. The same applies to small staples. What
is the trick to
holding them in place before they are anchored sufficiently into the timber?

Yeah, I get my best friend to hold the nail while I hammer! Lol. I used to
play around in my dad's workshop and there were many times Dad found blood
on his workbench after my explorations. I didn't want anyone to know I had
limitations! I do better with smaller hammers because of the size of my
hands and because I tend to hold the hammer fairly close to the pounding
part and my other hand closer to what I want to pound the nail into. Just
my own style.but it seems to work if I can just get the silly things in
straight!

hey all hows it going? Ok so when i was little i used to mess around
with hammering nails in and such but i was wondering how do you guys
do it? Like if im just trying to hammer a nail in to a board with a
hammer do i hold the nail with my fingers and try to aim for the nail
with the hamer? That allot of times will end up being my thumb under
the hammer rather than the nail haha. So does your aim just get better
with practis or do you have something you can put the nail in to hold
it so you wont have to use your fingrs?
