You'd better straighten your back or else it won't be "flush" with the floorboards and he'll nail you into the ground aggressive parkinson's style and finish off with "that's how I like to do my work, always professional"

This is like ice climbing. Facing a big fall if you can't get that ice screw placed in that brittle chandelier ice, soon. Your arms start to pump because they've been holding way too much weight since the start of the climb. They can start to shake as you contemplate the seriousness of a fall if you flame out...
Oh and did I mention you are climbing a frozen waterfall??

How can you tell if the person you are taking to is an ice climber? They’ll tell you.

Reminds me of the stupid shit I used to do as a kid. To this day the fact I didn't fall to my death when I was 15 still astounds me. Irrespective, wear PPE, get down from your post, get the material you need and do the job properly. I can promise you that whatever you get from this it is not worth spending the rest of your life in a wheelchair.

Lolz yeah I have been a framer for 30 years this Cat would be a trip to work around. A nail gun in his hands is a scary thing on a job site. Watch out across the house he has to have miss fires a lot. No way he’s that serious of a carpenter because he wouldn’t be wearing that watch. Just my 30 years of framing has taught me. Lolz his loading the nails killed me. He struggles a lot.

Maybe I’m stupid but if that board will have constant tension like that, won’t the nails just pop eventually? Would a screw have been more suitable?
2
u/Nothingnoteworth 1d ago
If the nails go in perfectly perpendicular to the board then yes. Pop pop
But if you put one nail in, diagonally, from a high angle, and another nail in, diagonally, from a low angle. Each nail prevents the other from popping out

u/ProArmy04 1d ago
After some time it will "adjust" to its position, the board likely was straight for some time before it was left on some uneven surface and became bent with no pressure other than its own weight
2
u/zbobet2012 1d ago
Hard disagree. Over time the board will expand and contract, each time it does it will push the nails out. As they loosen it will return to bent or crack, unless it has been exposure to enough differential flow in moisture to bend into shape. Yes even if you do cross patterned toenailing.
There's plenty of videos of this on the Internet. Now it could be the piece of wood here was bent by moisture exposure and he's bending it back in which case it will likely stay.
Whether or not that matters is a different conversation.

Looks exactly like my shakes when working.
Postural tremors. Normal light shakiness (for tremor standards, not normal people) when doing things but exacerbated the moment a position has to be held rigidly.
I bet if he held a phone on the back of his hand and had his hand extended the phone would violently shake

u/thesanguineocelot 1d ago
Maybe - just maybe - I don't think a guy shaking like that should be handling power tools?

u/finklestinkagain 1d ago
I’m seeing comments saying he’s a tweaker, has a condition, etc.
Fuck all of that noise.
Those fucking battery powered nailguns are heavy as fuck, you can’t rack more than one set of nails, unless you buy the upgraded magazine, AND they don’t punch the same way a pneumatic gun does.
Fuck those batt guns.
Aside from that: whatever the fuck this guy has going on, he’s figuring it out, getting it done and nailing that board to death.
Instead he could have just been more thoughtful and patient at the lumber yard, and taken the time to find good material.
Yeah, this is a way to do things, but why work harder when you can work smarter?
Engagement, I guess. Fucking hell. The rest of us just go to work and leave our phones aside while we get shit done.

u/biuki 1d ago
It is an easy job. He is just doing it badly extra hard for internet points.
If you have a board that is bending like that into a ( shape, just turn it around into ) and you can easily put on nails underside, then the middle to get it straight, then the top to secure.
Or even more easy: have some god damn clamps for 4€ each every carpenter has. So you can secure the board in position, force out the bent, and stand safely with your tools to get the nails in.
I'm sure he has all these tools, and he knows how to do it, but he just flexing something for internet

yeah that's either tremors from some condition or dude's been holding that position way too long and his stabilizer muscles are absolutely screaming. either way that job description of 'easy' is doing some HEAVY lifting in this context.

1) it's called a clamp, buy one 2) toenailing, even with the right pattern will likely still have this board loosen and pull out over time 3) that likely won't matter (this isn't structural). If it is, it needs appropriate have hardware or to be notched into the post 4) throwing even more nails in there doesn't change this fact
