Hammers and nails are a timeless combination that go together like chocolate and peanut butter. And sometimes beating that nail into submission can be just as therapeutic as chocolate. But I digress, anyway...

Just like hammers look similar but can be slightly different, nails are all similar in design but are all different as well. Using the wrong nail for the job can result in structural failure, damaged wood or just an amateurish looking job when completed.

Nails also use a mysterious coding for describing their size like "8d". The system used is called the penny system and has its roots going back to old England and even back to ancient Rome and 211 BC. The "d" is rooted in the old Roman penny coin called the denarius.

In the tutorial Nails 101, I'll show you the many different types of nails you may come upon in your home repair projects and describe their construction and use. We'll review nail types like cut, common, box, duplex, annular ring / drywall, masonry, brad, finish, casing, roofing.

So grab a Reese's peanut butter cup and nail this tutorial with a quick read.
