How do you start screws without cracking the wood?
The easiest thing to do, to insure that wood won't crack when nailing is to dull your nail. This increases the surface area and pushed the nail through, rather than stretching the wood as it goes. To do this all you need to do is tap the nail on the pointy end a few times with the hammer. If you just use this step you will find that 95% of nails won't crack the wood, but follow the next steps to get a near 100% perfection rate.
Can you hammer a screw?
It is not a good practice, but people do it. Some will tap a screw with a hammer to start a hole. Others will drive it all the way in. That is bad for the screw and the wood.Hammering a screw is counter-productive and will not have good results:When you hammer a nail into wood, the sides of the nail compress the wood. The compressed wood wants to expand pressing on the sides of the nail. The pressure keeps the nail in place preventing it from coming out of the wood.When you hammer a screw into wood, the threads of the screw "chew out" the wood pressing it downward, possibly compressing it in a downward direction, leaving little or no wood to hold the screw in place The compressed wood, wanting to expand may tend to expand upwards pushing the screw out.

To securely fasten wood together using carriage bolts, first drill holes through the wood pieces that are slightly larger than the diameter of the bolts. Place the bolts through the holes and add washers and nuts on the other side. Tighten the nuts with a wrench to secure the wood pieces together. Make sure the bolts are long enough to go through all the wood pieces and leave enough room for the nuts to tighten properly.

What about dried on nail polish on a wood door?
Devise a scraper of hard plastic by sharpening the edge of an old credit card. This will not scratch wood, but is effective as a scraper. Scrape off all the polish that you can. You probably won't get all of it off, and the only solution for the rest is lacquer thinner (nail polish is essentially lacquer). Lacquer thinner will likely mar or partially dissolve the finish on the door, but you can start weak, using a rag wet with hair spray, then graduating to commercial nail polish remover. You might be completely successful, or you might remove the polish at the expense of a marred spot in the door - it's your choice.
