TEST time! Toe nails VS Nails thru plate 💪

What happens here

Following the previous test, the wooden frame constructed with the toenailing method is positioned over the same Husky bottle jack. The operator again pumps the jack, applying upward pressure to the frame's top plate. This frame also fails under the applied stress, with its top plate detaching from the vertical studs. The creator states that this frame failed at a '9' (presumably a unit of force or pressure reading), indicating that the toenailing method was weaker in this test compared to the 'nails through plate' method.

Goal: Measure the failure point of the 'toenail' frame.
