you can download all of the shows from there and many other things for that

I've been a total since birth and have never had a problem hammering in nails.
Yeah, I smashed a finger or two learning how and still do from time to time,
but so do sighted carpenters. I can't imagine trying to hold a nail with
anything but my fingers. When you can see, there's
This makes the other point, much depends on the size and therefore the volume
of water a gutter can handle. A 40 foot length wants to be pretty big if you
get any amount of rain and particularly if the roof on that side is

I will admit that, since the advent of the battery-powered drill/driver, and
resulting increase in popularity of drywall and other multipurpose Phillips or
Robertson screws, my use of nails has practically become nonexistant. But,
from time to time, I find myself needing to drive a nail
The trick of using a hammer correctly is not to swing the hammer down with
your own downward force. This is when you run into guidance issues and wind
up striking your thumb. You let the weight of the hammer do the work and
your hand is only the guidance means. It's why there are different

I learned how to swing a hammer from a firemen my dad knew. This guy was a
carpenter, plumber, electrician. My first thought was the guy probably
wasn't much good at any of them. How wrong I was. When he retired from the
fire department he taught all those subjects at the college level down
I forgot to mention that it helps a lot to swing from the shoulder while
holding the elbow and wrist more or less unmoving. This reduces the targeting
errors introduced by multiple joints and of course it lengthens the lever arc
substantially. Not only is this more accurate but it substantially
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
me too. total now and hammer just fine.
you hold the nail just enough to set it then i balance the hammer head
for a second on the nail head then go.
i do check the nail occasionally. to make sure it is going straight
make sure the hammer is heavy enough for the task and don't chock up on
it
get the advice from Orick, what is quiet and what the db ratings they may
have measured.
Also, does your upright have that plug mid way up the spine? If so, it may
be unplugged from the other part of the unit.

And that's what I was taught as well. You swing the hammer the same way
every time and it makes no difference as long as you use the right tool for
the right job.

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?

Unless it's real short, I use a clothes pin to get one started.
Over many years I've gotten pretty good at hitting nails. My thumb nail for
example.

Try a small piece of wood, about 1/2 the height of the nail, with square edges
and a shallow saw kerf cut into its face. Hold the nail in the kerf and set
the block on the work surface. Hammer the nail 1/2 of the way in. Remove the
