What happens here

The creator demonstrates the toenailing technique. A vertical wood stud is held against a horizontal wood plate, supported by sawhorses. Using a pneumatic nail gun, he drives several nails at an angle through the side of the vertical stud into the horizontal plate. This creates a secure, interlocking connection designed to resist pull-out and shear forces.

Goal: Show the proper application of the toenailing method.

Tools and materials

  • Pneumatic Nail Gun Milwaukee — Driving nails for the toenailing demonstration
  • Safety Glasses — Protecting eyes during nail gun operation
  • Sawhorses — Supporting the wood pieces during nailing
  • Wood Plate — The horizontal piece to which the stud is attached
  • Wood Stud — The vertical piece being joined
  • Nails — Creating the wood joint

What they say

We got a test. We got nails straight through the top plate. We got nails through the top plate at a 10° angle. And then we got toenails. That's 10°. This is doing pretty good. This is toenail.
