What happens here

The presenter introduces the primary tool for attaching boards: a Paslode angled finish nailer, praising its cordless design. He then demonstrates an efficient way to unbundle stacks of fence boards. Instead of tin snips, he uses the claw of a hammer to hook and twist the plastic straps, quickly breaking them. He reiterates that 6.5-inch spacer blocks (custom-cut from scrap wood) will be used to maintain even board spacing.

Goal: Prepare bundles of boards and understand the primary nailing tool.
