    My dad showed this trick to my little brother & me when we were like 6 & 8 back in the early 80's. I think about it occasionally, but it's been YEARS since I last did. Both of my parents died young, my dad most recently in 2014. This made me smile remembering a happy childhood memory of him, so thank you for posting 😊

      I think every carpenter's son was shown this as a kid. I was probably about the same age, but in the 70's.
      Then in wood shop, the teachers would do this to try and impress the students.

    Ran into this at a black smith stall at a fair. Earned me a glare. Looked at it, flipped the platform over, balanced it on the head of the large middle nail and then laid the other nails on top. Was told it was the "wrong right answer." lol More than one solution to a problem.

    Or... if the wooden circle and the head of the 1st nail are both equally PERFECTLY flat, and the table is also completely, evenly flat...
    You could turn it upside down! Balancing on the center nail, then slowly place the other six nails on top of the wooden circle, which is balanced on top of the 1st nail... And you just did something most people won't think of.

I made a $10 bet with 10-to-1 odds that nobody other than me could balance the nails in less than 15-seconds; Twelve of the guys took me up on it and I staggered away a very WEALTHY drunken Sergeant while they were still wondering how I did it when they couldn't! đŸ€Ł
