Good morning thread

Coffins back in the Middle Ages were assembled with nails that were nine inches long….

Christ’s hands and feet were also nailed to the cross with nine inch spikes - ones of which were used to assemble the wooden framing of the burial chambers and tombs below the old Churches and places of mourning and prayer for the dead….


Trent is a pretty dark guy who delivers quite a dreary and somber message time after time - again and again….

Mornin' 91 thunderstormsIMG_20210620_162854.jpg
Duke saw a red squirrel jumped out of the Kawasaki mule
At about 20mph
He rolled down the road
Seems fineIMG_20210620_162423.jpg
1969 ford 2000 in great shape
The farmer lost control of it on a very steep incline
He went over a cliff backwards about 50ft
Shitting himself.
He was wearing the seat belt and didn't get a scratch
My friend took a 450 John Deere
And pulled him
Out.

The holes were drilled out prior to the nails/spikes being pounded…. They had a path made for them already but stayed tightly in place once installed….

They weren’t for fastening things to keep them stuck together - they were used as pegs or as biscuits to keep the panels from coming undone from the part of the frame they were fastened to….

The nails were made to be nine inches long because the ore they made them from at the time would stress crack if it was used for spikes or nails of shorter length - this was noticed after a couple of hundred years of coffins in old burial chambers falling apart…. Over the centuries, the nails increased in length since they discovered that the ore was brittle - they eventually found out, the longer the nail, the better chance it had of not rotting through and staying more rigid…. They would have kept going but nine inches was a solid length that proved itself and they obviously couldn’t waste ore just for the sake of making the nails ten inches long or longer….

As for the framework of the coffin - the nails went through the frame and into the walls/sides, or panels…. They were always supporting the side and floor panels to the frames and the panels were fairly thick (again, smaller holes were pre drilled prior to the install of the nails that need to carry all the weight)…..


As far as the spikes go - the ones used for the framework and structures inside of the burial tombs, the boards were mounted to the rock itself…. Again, holes were drilled and the spikes were anchored through the frame into the rock…. The spikes remained nine inches due to the fact that any longer, they would bend or break easily…. The nine inch length of both the spikes and of the coffin nails remained the way they were designed and made until some more modern changes were made - but that wasn’t until hundred of years later - long after the Dark Ages and Middle Ages were already a thing of the past….

I’m not so sure it’s my lack of knowledge about wimmins….

I’m pretty sure it’s my lack of ability to pick one decent enough that’s worth having around as well as one that makes the choice to stickaround….


You don’t get better at picking better ones - you just get better at dealing with the garbage you’ve selected for yourself….
