Two types of people:
1. Normal folks just enjoying the humor and science
2. Weird internet warriors arguing over a kids science demo

Amazing, how all this guy's clips seems to end, before he shows the end results

That actually works. Done it years ago.

He managed to balance the nails but may have scratched up his beautiful counter top.

[DanielMLaw]

Finally I have a valuable skill for the job market!!

[HenrySciortino]

I like how he didn’t show it balanceing

[Thrillhouse]

The editing is perfect! It shows the best part which is everything leading up to what is described!

I was getting beer and paychecks with that everytime we got a new guy twenty years ago.

[herculydia]

That is awesome!! He left out the glue part. Part II coming up!

[mahomedenverhossenatchia]

Great! Hats off for the demonstration!

[bjohnston]

I can't think of a single circumstance where this would come up for me

[nathanwahl]

Balancing it really is easy. Just get the vertical center of gravity over the lower nail head somewhere.

[jonodonnell]

You can balance the vertical nail point up..
Try it!👍
