Nailing the feet (just one of many ways):
Now that the second wrist is fixed and everything seems to work out fine, your team can release at least the arms, but still has to press the victim's upper body onto to the wood. The legs are stretched and the feet are placed on a loose sedile. Now the team is sliding the sedile about 30cm up the stipes and is bending the victims knees.
It's your turn now to nail the sedile to the stipes.
Many hands are holding the feet and the sedile in place, a soldier is supporting the head of the victim up, to prevent her/him from injuring her/himself.
Again you take a look at your victim standing in front of the cross, all that horror shows in these eyes.
You can't think about the victims screams and the roar in the audience, while you proceed.
While you wipe the sweat off of your forehead, you kneel down aside from the placed feet.
Advising the team to hold the feet side by side to the stipes, you place the nail between the bone of the second and third toe and drive it through the foot.
Taking a close look at the result, you lift the foot to check if the nail is coming out of the desired spot. You put the foot on the ground and drive the nail just a little more through the flesh.
After advising your team to place the unnailed foot into the center of the stipes, the nailed foot has to be grabbed by you and placed with the nail's tip in the perfect spot.
Pushing the nailed foot into place allows the tip now to sink into the unnailed, you have total control where your victims base foot will be pierced.
Moving the base foot a little to the side, guarantees that the nail will make it into the solid wood.
By now the team mates are laughing and having fun with your actions, and are cursing at the condemned on the wood, to not move that much.
Kneeling down left from the victim, since being right handed, you grab the nail tightly that is sticking out of the foot. Again you place the hammer on the head, raise it, and drive the nail through the flesh. Just a little into the stipes.
But you can't let go yet, your hands are bloody and sticky, you inhale. nOnce more tighten your muscles and hit the nail under the screams of your victim.
You know you must have the insanity to kill and hit the nail again and again, until just a little of the shaft is still sticking out of the top foot.
Getting up, you take a glance at the shaking body, that you have just destroyed.
