There's a big difference between "knowing" and knowing how to teach. You my friend ... know ... AND more importantly (for us) know how to teach!
thank you so much!
I fully agree, you have a fantastic delivery with your teaching and you pull us in with it.
I'm a self proclaimed know-it-all who regularly uses both nails and screws in my business. I love your videos! Once again, you've taught me how much I don't know. Being a fellow Seattlite, I hope to bump into you sometime so I can sing my praises in person. Thanks again!
Stephen Bolanos I own a construction business and always find Leah teaching me some of the basics I should know! These basics sometimes no one teaches us along the way until we seejanedrill!
Listening to you Leah, is like listening to my high school woodworking teacher. Great videos,very informative and to the point.....
I love your ability to teach the basics without being demeaning. I like how you introduced the viewer to the concepts of shear and tensile strength. I think you should have also included ductile and brittle. Nails are ductile. They bend without breaking. Screws are brittle. They break when deformed. Also nails are tough because they are ductile.
auuuuuuuuuuu!
Ahhhh look at Phillip trying to appear relevant... lol
That's... That's exactly what she explained...
thanks for adding that very useful info, Phillip!
🤔 she did talk about ductile and brittle, also with a demonstration.
Thank you so much for this video. I've watched some other videos of yours about sheet-rock but it's been a while. As soon as I heard your voice I thought it was you. I'm glad I came across your channel again. You are an amazing teacher and share lots of knowledge.
I share decor projects, crafts, and a little furniture diys on my channel. I get asked all the time, "why do I always use screws on my projects and could they use nails?" Some seem to think nails are stronger and they are in one way but for what I make tinsel/bond strength is key.
I was looking up a video I could share to help further explain my preference and the strength of bonding two pieces of wood together. Obviously not for structures that would be subject to winds or weather so the need for bending is irrelevant. I'm talking about tables, small cabinets, and using something that would give a superior permanent bond. You went above and beyond. I sincerely thank you! You're super talented, intelligent and easy to understand. Your video is greatly appreciated. I'll be sharing your video in my video. Hats of to you and your greatness.
Hello, are you a carpenter ?
Leah your videos are not just informative I find your presentation and voice very soothing to listen to as well. Keep talking, teaching, and doing good work!
I always think that anyone in wood construction who join woods together with a nail is a mediocre person until I watch this video. Turned out that I AM that mediocre person for not knowing when to use any of those nails or screws. Thank's Leah.
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks again, Leah.
you're welcome, Linda!
I have watched several of your instructional videos over the years. I must say that you do an excellent job of presenting information in an easy-to-follow way whether it be nail vs screw strength, adding texture to a rough interior wall to hide imperfections, etc...I have now subscribed to your channel!
Leah: you have that wonderful gift of teaching the basics, for which there is no substitute. The topics may seem trivial to some, but you have that knack of not only explaining the methods but sharing the reasons behind them. I respect your work and truly enjoy your videos!
You've got the power to teach! Your explanations are not overwhelming! Big help to people who want to do diy constructions. Thank you!
Great beak down of the difference in a nail and a screw and what they are best used for. You keep us straight Leah. Thanks so much!
you're welcome, Becky!
Your video's keep getting better and better Leah, you have a fantastic teaching style. Thank you ☺
Extremely knowledgeable and an EXCELLENT teacher. I’m glad I found your channel.
Another great video, Leah. I learn something each time!
Thanks for this...Soooo much knowledge and wisdom from this channel. Thanks again!
Very clear explanation! Thanks! :)
Thanks for the informative video! Always enjoy em! Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge keep me coming! ❤️
🙂
Are you a carpenter?
I have seen many of your videos, But this one literally blew my mind. Your knowledge And experience Is probably greatest On UA-cam. Tank you very much again and Merry Christmas.
You're a good explainer. And you have to be one of the most approachable for newbies to watch. So many want to leap to using technical jargon that assumes the viewer already knows a lot.
Thanks Duke
Very helpful info. Thanks very much!
Good information, Leah. Thanks for simplifying the difference. Now it makes sense when to use a nail and when to use a screw. Cool!
you're welcome, Fran!
Love these videos so many things I thought I’d “ have a go at “ and got horribly wrong ! Now I know how ! Thanks Leah
I've never done woodwork in my life, and your video gives me the confidence to start haha thank you!
You're a great teacher. Thanks for the demonstrations
Thank you very much for this educational video. Good explanation! You spoke in simple words without fancy jargons. Now I know the difference between nails and screws.
Essential viewing for everyone, thanks again Leah.
you're welcome, Rocket Rider!
as always: short and to the point. Amazing
In some earthquake zones building codes do not allow screws. Great video, you cover things others don't. Practice your hammering skills on that like button folks!
I knew this info intuitively, but I couldn't have explained it this well. Thanx for solidifying the thought process!
Great video - very clear and to the point. Thank you Leah! Good Job!
This was an awesome video! Told me exactly what I wanted to know. Subscribed 👍🏻
You’re teaching discipline is amazing! Thank you for what you do !
Really really great one here. I'm impressed. Thank you!
I was always curious about when I should use screws versus nails. This video clears that up significantly for me.
This was a great video Leah, thanks!
This is just in time as I am going to make a shelf soon. Thank you for making it easy to understand.
🙂
This is a great video for beginners and I am a beginner. You make it sound so easy.
Perfect as always. Thank you!
Great video and information
I like using screws over nails because of the friction they cause when they are tightened in. The friction is a huge part in things not moving. Screws create a tighter and stronger bond because of the friction from the tight bond. I believe that the tighter the bond, the less the chance of movement. I think this is what Leah might be hinting at when she said something about "other factors". I've seen some structures that had linear movement because of the type of nails that were used and caused the structure to severely deform or outright fail and collapse. The wrong type of screw can and has caused the same effect. I remember back about 20 years ago when a crane crew was erecting a metal com tower and were hoisting it up when a puff of smoke appeared at the screw type u-brackets. The crew fell to their deaths along with the tower part. The puff of smoke came from the screw's threads being sheared off because the wrong type and size were used.
Sooo informative and you made it so easy to understand. I just subscribed to your channel. I am new to the whole DIY stuff. As a matter of fact, it's just last week that I ordered some powertools online. Waiting for them to get here this week. Thanks so much for your channel!
Thanx. Been looking for it. Hard to make a decision when i have a very limit tools. Thanx again.
Always so helpful and clear!!! Thank you, for all your videos!
very informative! Thanks Leah!
Your video content is excellent, very informative & easy to understand. 👍
really great and clear explanation , thanks!
Thanks for the very useful and informative video. Helped out for my pallet project.
Thank you Leah!
you're welcome, Tony!
thanks for the info, very helpful
I thought before that screw is superior overall until I watched this video. Its amazing and I learned a lot! Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
this is what I'm looking for.. great technical insights. Subbed
Great video very informative and well taught!
Love your videos! Always informative and easy to understand thankyou.
you're welcome, Sharon!
Very Informative, Thank you so much!
I love her videos. Learning new things.
Same idea on a rock crusher screen. They use grade 3 or less bolts so that they will deform instead of snapping. Great video as usual Leah, thanks for the info.
Thanks for the info Leah. I have never given the screw/nail usage much thought. I normally use the screw because of the ease of driving and extraction. Now you have me thinking.
🙂
Great visual demonstration of what we need to know.
Another informative video Leah, thank you! It is a bit overwhelming when standing in the nail/screw aisle of a big box store trying to find and decide what to choose. I still have A LOT to learn but at least I have more knowledge than I did 5 minutes ago.
I Kno that feeling. Every time I go down that aisle. I smh
Brilliant teaching. So clear.
Thank you I really enjoy watching your videos you have a true talent for teaching I have some knowledge of carpentry and wood working and you have a way of getting the basics covered and still show something (to me) new and informative. Thank you very much for your time and advice.

I want to build a shed that I could be able to take apart if I move, what do you reccomend?
Thank you
You're a great teacher. Please explain what tensile strength is. Many thanks for your tutorials.
Amazing, very important lessons thanks
The point on many nails is not square; its cross section is a diamond. The sharper edges are intended to cut wood grain. Place your nail with the longer dimension of the diamond at right angles to the wood grain before hammering. This helps reduce splitting. If you place the nail with the diamond parallel to the grain, the nail tries to separate the wood fibers, instead of cutting them. (I learned that in 1958 in junior high shop class, pretty much the most - or only - worthwhile class I ever took.)
HI Bob, thanks for sharing your personal experience!
love this lady.the best teacher on the Internet.
very nice of you to say 🙂
