until flat end is flush

Gonna need a tolerance on that. Flush +/- .020" sounds good.

surface of wood

Is any wood acceptable? There's a significant difference between birch and oak.

What about things that share a similar property to wood? Say, a duck, or a witch, or a great gravy?

Or very small rocks?

That feel when your gravy is more dense than the meatloaf you're pouring it on.

It appears that a wood grain is shown which I think would indicate it is important and requires a label.

Looks like all the easy definitions have been taken care of by others.

More GD&T always drives the floor jockeys piping hot mad, so do that to excess. Position at MMC, angularity, flatness of the nail head, give them the beans.

However, Having also worked with enough plant floor people-

If you don't have a separate view showing the fully installed configuration you are wasting your time with all those notes. Nobody gonna read them.

There's lots more stuff you could include. For example:

  • indication of which part of the hammer should be used to strike the nail
  • recommended angle of entry for the nail to penetrate the wood
  • recommended angle of impact for the hammer against the head (once correct part of hammer is indicated)
  • scale: how long/thick is the nail? How thick/deep is the piece of wood? Is the illustration to actual scale, or is it a more general representation of the objects?
  • material composition of nail
  • type and density of wood
  • grain direction of wood
  • is the diagram indicating relative positioning, or absolute? For example, does the wood always need to be parallel to the ground, and does the nail always need to be perpendicular to the ground.
  • description of variances with respect to types of nail heads; some may have squared edges, others may be beveled.

I could keep going, you get the idea.

Very thorough! The material compositions are my first go to.

Then the marketing and graphics design team gets it, and it reads "hit nail".with a graphic that may or may not show to hit the nail on the side of the nail.
