What happens here

Prepare a nail gun by loading it with a strip of framing nails. Take two more pieces of wood, identical to those used in the previous step, and align them on a stable surface. Use the nail gun to drive a framing nail through the top piece of wood and into the bottom piece, creating a secure joint. Ensure the nail is driven flush with the surface. This assembly will serve as the second test sample for comparison.

Goal: Prepare a wood sample joined by nails.
