Hand-forged nail 1 inch.

When choosing the length of the nail, it is usually said that 1/3 should be in the board and at least 2/3 in the joist.

In general, the hand-forged nail can be divided into the following categories of use:

• 1-1.5 inches Window fittings
• 2 inches Hand-planed moldings, trim and other millwork
• 3 inch wedge-sawn roof, wall and breast panels etc. internally. And for nailing wedge-sawn board lining on the outside.
• 4 inches Larger board lining and for nailing cover strips on the outside.
• 5 inch wedge-sawn floors etc. inside and for coarser joinery outside.
