I play much more fingerstyle and keep my nails grown out these days. Works fine for my fingers, but my thumbnail is so hooked that it tends to catch on the string or make it pop when I don't want it to.
I don't have much hope here, but... Anyone had this issue or know a way to shape the thumbnail that I'm missing? If I file the underside, it effectively shortens the nail...

I've built many deck stairs, and I secure the bottom newel post as shown here: https://www.thisiscarpentry.com/2014/03/07/bottom-stair-post-and-stringer-deck-connections/. Always solid.
But now I'm building a deck *ramp* (2:12 pitch), so the stringer just tapers to nothing at the landing. So there's no way to fasten the bottom newel post except to the concrete. I'm not even sure if the (ultra expensive) Simpson MPB would prevent it from tilting. Thoughts?
