Local 619 member Zubin Eggleston demonstrates how to nail old lumber without splitting the board.
SWRCC is launching a new series of videos: Tips of the Trade. For this series, we are asking our members to show us a technique they use – either on the job or at leisure – to make their work smarter or faster. And, this is a Tip that they’ve either invented or were taught.
Nailing old wood without splitting the ends.
In our first Tips of the Trade video, Zubin Eggleston demonstrates a tip that his dad – a Carpenter as well – taught him when he was kid; how to nail old wood without splitting the board. In his video, Zubin uses old wood that he used to build a skate ramp in the backyard of his house.
Watch Zubin’s Tip in his video above.
