Driven



One of the feats of strength that has fascinated me since my youth is bare hand nail driving. Bare handed with the exception of a small piece of a rag that is placed in the palm. Stories and photographs of these great oldetime strongmen slamming a large nail though wood, sheet metal, license plates, plywood, and even frying pans with one mighty blow of their fist just completely defies logic.

Pictured is a thick board and a license plate that I drove a 4" long, 20 d nail completely through with one swing. How was I able to accomplish this? I guess one could say that I'm "driven" to succeed.
