Steve,
As a young man, I was working with an old fellow, doing some framing. We were using 16d common nails [back when you could buy 16d commons]. They were big thick and heavy. Anyhow, this old man [probably in his fifties,& me about 17], would take a hand full of nails and turn them upside down and flatten the point some. I thought he was nuts. He explained to me [since the 2x4's I was nailing were splitting], that by flattening the point some, as the nail went through th wood, instead of spreading, it would tear it's way through the wood fibers. I never saw the old man split a board. Who knows!!
Sure were a good photos & instructions of your construction of GMC jack stand cribbage..
