Are joist hangers pointless? 🤔 #carpentry #framing #construction #test

What happens here

This project demonstrates a comparative strength test between two common methods of joining wood: toenailing with nails and using a metal joist hanger with screws. The process involves preparing two identical wooden assemblies, one joined by toenailing and the other using a joist hanger. Each assembly is then subjected to increasing pressure using a hydraulic press to determine its failure point, thus comparing their structural integrity.
