TEST time! Toe nails VS Nails thru plate 💪

What happens here

This project compares the structural integrity of two common nailing techniques in woodworking: toenailing and nailing through the plate. Two identical wooden frames are constructed, one using toenails and the other using direct nails through the top plate. A hydraulic bottle jack is then used to apply pressure to each frame until failure, demonstrating which method provides greater resistance to force.
