Fig. 33, nail A would enter piece X properly, while nail B would surely pass out the side. If any nails are started wrong they should be drawn out and started again.

3. Clamp or hold pieces in position, i. e., so that the center

lines for the nails will coincide.

4. Drive the nails nearly all the way in, but leave them so

that the claw of the hammer can easily draw them out if necessary.

5. Inspect the work, and, if the pieces are in their proper positions and no nails show a tendency to come thru anywhere, drive the nails in and set them.

Nails hold best if they are driven at a slant for they then act like dovetails. It is always possible to slant nails in two directions without their coming thru the sides of the second piece.

Important: Use a brad-awl for small nails and a small bit for larger ones whenever a nail would be likely to split the wood. A little paraffine, or even soap, will be of great help in driving nails into hard wood. The soap will rust the nails, however, while the paraffine will not.
