Fellow showed me how to balance 13 3 1/2 inch nails on the head of 1 nail years ago. Used to always stump the new guys at work. Now somehow all they have to do is google nail tricks and they have figured out what I thought was a little known nail trick! How many have seen this before?

I figured it out in a bar with no help in 1980 something. The bartender said I was the 0nly one who ever figured it out on my own.
 
Well you drive in the center pole. Place the ridge beam on top. Then you place two then the other end place two more and continue. You need to hold that ridge beam with your fingers. Is that it? I think stacking a house of cards is really hard.
 
Lay the beam nail on the table. Lay out the cross nails. Pick up beam nail by it's ends, balance on standing nail.
 
When I was young and hanging out at the bar,I was only interested in ten nails attached to the fingers of good looking women. LOL
