You could get rid of the music. It is a little distracting when you’re really trying to focus on what you’re seeing and hearing.
Never point a nail gun “towards” your body as the man did when he was attaching the baluster. This is a disaster waiting to happen. These nails have small heads and can go straight through the wood and into your body. Or even worse, you might aim incorrectly and shoot yourself or someone else. Always be extra cautious when using a pneumatic nailer, and never use the “bump mode” setting unless you are experienced and working with sheet goods. It’s just not worth the risk. Take your time and be safe.
