I see stuff like this all the time it shows how sloppy people can be even in the past. This headed cut nail is probably 100 - 150 years old. It took some real effort to bring it to this state. Probably 3 - 4 difficult blows. After the first bend It would have taken just as much time to remove and replace plus less effort. Not to mention probably a side blow might have straighten it adequately to drive in. #woodworking #oldfurniture #oldhouses #madeinmassachusetts #oldnails https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnx4h7Trpov/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
