toenailing driving a nail spike or brad at an angle into the end of one piece of wood to fasten it to a second piece avoids having the nails show above the surface

Sequence assembly to avoid toenailing
First, fasten the header to the king stud. Before installing any adjacent studs or the top plate, I connect the header to the king stud. Again, I use the #5 domino nailing pattern.
I methodically put up the walls, one log at a time, toenailing three 12-inch spikes into predrilled holes in the base of each log.
Its also easier and faster than toenailing, where the angled nail sometimes can cause splits or miss most of the stud altogether. Either way, lay out stud locations on both the bottom and top plates at the same time.
Install the nailers for the cabinet... Cut and install the 2x4 nailers onto the sill and header, toenailing them into place. Make sure they are vertical and spaced to allow at least 1/4 inch of play around the cabinet.
With all the rafters assembled in pairs, position each pair on the wall top plates and secure by toenailing.

Some require that you put nails into both the deck board and the joist, while others require nailing into the joist only. Some call for toenailing one side of each deck board, others do not. All of them automatically space the boards.
When the wall is flat on the floor, you can hammer in two 16d sinker nails through the plates up into the ends of the studs. This makes for a better connection rather than toenailing the studs as you will be forced to do if you build the wall in ...
The joists above the first floor are connected to the central girder of the home by steel brackets. These brackets provide a far more effective alternative than does toenailing nails to hold the joists in place or to notching the girder to hold ...
