What happens here

The video concludes by demonstrating the correct and safest method for setting a nail. To begin, place the head of the nail between the claws of the hammer. Position the nail where it needs to be driven into the wood. Use the hammer to gently tap the nail into the wood until it is stable and can stand on its own. Once the nail is sufficiently embedded, remove the hammer, flip it to the striking end, and then drive the nail in completely. This technique keeps your fingers away from the hammer's path at all times.

Goal: Learn the safe and effective way to set a nail
