Why do men think a bigger hammer, or hitting it harder, is the answer???
I have a cedar chest. Back in my day we called it a hope chest. It was a graduation gift, and something I could put things into for my future home. (yeah, it was a 70s thing!). and on the bottom, it has little metal nubs to help it glide across carpeted floors when you need to move it. Needless to say, the metal leaves marks on my tile floors here in the Valley of the Sun, so I wanted to replace them with little plastic ones. Of course, my son's helping me. And I hand him the little glide and my small hammer. He starts hammering, but the small head of the hammer, and his hard hitting makes the nail bend. So the solution? Get a bigger hammer and hit it harder when he goes to drive the next one in.
The poor plastic glide didn't survive.
So it's off to the hardware store to get another set of plastic glides.
Which I will hammer in myself.
With my little hammer.
And softer touch.
