To drive long, slender nails into hard wood, hold with pincers(Fig. 172), or between three fingers, to lessen the danger of nails having large heads and in hard wood the holes in the outerpiece can be about as large as the nails, if the latter drive tightly intothe inner piece. In such cases as shown in Fig. 636, drive the nails into the outerpiece until the points prick through. Then place the piece in positionfor nailing and the points of the nails will help hold it in place. Nailsd

Toe Nailing.—Nails hold strongest when driven slanting or toed (Fig. 173). Slanting the nails helps to draw one piece tightly up to another (Fig. 174), and this effect can sometimes be increased, after thenail has been driven part way, by drawing the hammer in the di-rection of the point of the nail so as to bend the upper part toward theother piece.
