A short nail with a large flat head is typically referred to as a "finish nail" or "flat head nail." These nails are designed for use in woodworking and carpentry, providing a strong hold while allowing for a clean finish, as the flat head can sit flush with the surface of the material. They are often used in applications where aesthetics are important, such as in trim work or cabinetry.

Blind nailing is a method of securing a nail in a way that the nail head is not visible after installation. This is achieved by driving the nail at an angle through the tongue of a board (in flooring installation, for example), so the next board can cover the nail head. This technique provides a cleaner and more professional finish to woodworking projects.

A nail punch, also known as a nail set, is a tool used to drive the head of a nail below the surface of the wood or material, preventing it from protruding. This is particularly useful for achieving a smooth finish in woodworking projects, allowing for the nail to be filled or painted over. Nail punches come in various sizes to accommodate different nail types and are often used in conjunction with a hammer for effective operation.

To securely attach trim to a wall using a finish nail, it is important to first pre-drill small holes in the trim to prevent splitting. Then, position the trim against the wall and drive the finish nail at a slight angle into the wall stud. Use a nail set to countersink the nail below the surface of the trim, and fill the hole with wood putty for a seamless finish.
