I live in the desert and I'm currently building an outdoor storage space

I slit my hand open on a massive wood splinter and it jammed itself under my finger nail
(I already got it removed at the hospital, super costly)
I was wearing gloves but I pressed too hard on my drill as it was drilling at it caused the wood to burst from the nails combined pressure

I thought building my outdoor storage space would be easy but I realized I'm massive horses ass and I'm ready to hire some guys from Home Depot to build it on the cheap

What kind of nails should I be using?
Would galcanized nails cause a burst wood?

do you have a picture of the wood after it burst? wood doesn't normally explode into splinters when you drill into it so it would help illustrate exactly what happened. my only thought right now is maybe your brother domenic gave you the ol spicy 2x4.

>wood doesn't normally explode into splinters when you drill into it
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I can't really envision what you're talking about here, a picture might help clarify what your problem is. Without seeing it, I can't imagine a scenario where drilling or nailing is going to cause wood to explode into splinters.
