What happens here

Next, the creator tests the strength of a pre-assembled joint made with the toenailing method. Similar to the previous test, he pins the horizontal plate with his foot and applies upward force to the vertical stud using the crowbar. The toenail joint resists separation significantly longer and requires more force before it eventually breaks, demonstrating superior holding power compared to the 10-degree angled method.

Goal: Evaluate the strength of the toenailing method.

Tools and materials

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

What they say

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.
