What happens here

The creator tests the strength of a pre-assembled joint where nails were driven at a 10-degree angle. He places the horizontal plate on the ground and uses his foot to pin it down. He then applies upward force to the vertical stud using a crowbar-like tool. The joint yields and separates relatively quickly, indicating moderate holding strength.

Goal: Evaluate the strength of the 10-degree angled nailing method.

Tools and materials

  • Crowbar — Applying leverage to separate the joint
  • Pre-assembled Wood Joint — The joint being tested for strength

What they say

Hide

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. Toenail definitely hold the best. This 10° was pretty good, too.
