Are different amounts of force needed to pound nails into different kinds of wood?
Yes. Woods from different trees have different densities and also grain characteristics affect the force needed to drive nails. Driving a nail across grain requires more force than driving a nail into the end of the grain in the same piece of wood. Other factors also affect the force needed to drive nails, including the dryness or age of the wood.
How does a windmill grind grain?
The windmill's blades act like a rotating fan which pushes the rod attached to it to the direction the wind is blowing. As it goes to the end of the rod, the stone, which is attached to the rod too spins. This causes the two stones which are joint together crush and grind the grain between them.

What is a Cross Cut Saw?
A cross cut saw has teeth that are shaped and spaced so that they are ideal for cutting across the grain of timber. Timber is strong and resistant to cutting in this direction. They are generally finer than ripping saws which are used for cutting or "ripping" in line with the grain. Ripping saws usually have bigger teeth and gaps between teeth because wood is softer in this direction, so more material can be cut with each pass and the cut material is accommodated in the gaps between the teeth.
