Got called out for my finish nailer technique on a trim job in Tacoma

What about when you're working with softer woods or MDF? I've found that setting for flush can leave the head proud if the material gives at all. My method is to still sink them just a hair, because a tiny dimple filled with a quick swipe of spackle is faster for me than going back to reset any nails that didn't drive fully. It really depends on the material and the finish paint job. A super smooth finish needs flush, but most semi-gloss trim work I do, a little dimple and fill is more reliable.

Rant: I always thought the whole 'Mandela Effect' thing was just people misremembering stuff, but I swear my grandma's vintage Pyrex bowl had a different logo before she passed.

My aunt's old Pyrex in Cleveland had that weird font too.

Unpopular opinion: A decent lunch keeps the hoof knife steady

It's not just about eating... it's what you eat. A heavy burger and fries will put me right to sleep at the bench. I go for lighter stuff now, like a big salad with some chicken or hard boiled eggs. The real trick is skipping the simple carbs that cause a crash an hour later. A steady burn from protein and veggies keeps my focus way longer than any caffeine spike ever did.
