How To
Tips for driving a nail in wood
When driving a nail into wood, it is important to first choose the correct size and kind of hammer. The most common types of hammers are claw hammers, sledgehammers, mallets, ball peen hammers, and hatchets. Each type of hammer has its pros and cons. A claw hammer works well when you're trying to hit nails with a heavy hammer. However it is difficult to precisely control where the blow hits. A sledgehammer is useful for striking large areas at once but too heavy to be effective for smaller tasks.
After selecting the right hammer, you will need to place your hand flat against one side of the head. The handle should rest comfortably in your hands. Hold the handle in your hand, but don’t force it too hard that you break. You should hold the hammer straight-up, with your wrist still relaxed. Next, swing the hammer toward the ground and aim for the nail's center. You should feel the impact on the nail from the hammer. Try swinging a hammer using a block wood to practice until you are comfortable.
Once you are ready to drive the nail, place the hammer close to your body. The nail should be perpendicular to wood's surface. Keep your eyes on the tip. Then, swing the hammer forward. Next, follow the motion of your hammerhead. Keep doing this until you are comfortable with the swing. Once you've mastered the technique, try adding power to your swings. Try holding the hammer above your shoulder and bring it down forcefully. This will help you put more energy behind each of your moves.
Once you've nailed the first hole, remove the hammer from the nail. To remove the remainder of the nails, you can use a screwdriver/pry bar. Keep the nail heads parallel to the board's surfaces in order to avoid splitting wood.
