	Also shown opposite is the use of a '''[[:Category:Punches\|Nail Punch]]'''. It is good practice on fine work to drive nails in to a few millimetres of the surface then punch them below it. This will avoid any damage to a plane iron, for example, when cleaning up the work after assembly. The punched hole can then be filled with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_putty '''Wood Filler'''] to prepare for final finishing and to avoid any rust stains appearing on the surface.

	When using nails in softwoods they can usually be driven in directly but for hardwoods, and sometimes to avoid splitting near the end on any timbers, a small hole may be drilled in the top piece first - or bored with a '''[[Awl and Bradawl\|Bradawl]]'''.		When using nails in softwoods they can usually be driven in directly but for hardwoods, and sometimes to avoid splitting near the end on any timbers, a small hole may be drilled in the top piece first - or bored with a '''[[Awl and Bradawl\|Bradawl]]'''. Alternatively, the head of a nail may be cut off and the nail itself used as a drill - the snipped off end acting similarly to a mini '''[[Flat Bit]]'''.

			=====Description=====
	The holding power of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nail_%28fastener%29 '''Nails'''] depends upon [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction '''Friction'''] and some nails have coatings or grips designed into the body of the nail ''(i.e. shank)'' to improve this. In addition, some coatings are applied to improve resistance to corrosion ''(e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanization '''Galvanising''']).'' Nails may be driven in at opposing angles as shown. This is a process known as '''Dovetail Nailing''' and improves their holding power.
