When I was younger, we had a competition (on lunch break) to see if we could set a 16d nail with one fell swoop.

Almost all of us young bucks came close (within about an 1/8 of an inch).

Later in life I learned accuracy and the delicacy of the final strokeS eliminated the "holidays" and allowed a carpretender to act like a carpenter.

There is no shame in taking your time in setting a nail, especially in finish work.

Give it up, Tex, y'ain't gonn'a win this one.

Happy New Year ............ and hammerin'
