How To
Tips on how to drive a nail in wood
First, choose the right size and type of tool to drive a nail through wood. There are many types of hammers that you will find: claw hammers and sledgehammers; mallets; ball peen hammers; and hatchets. Each kind of hammer has its own advantages and disadvantages. A clawhammer works best when hitting something hard like nails. However, it can sometimes be difficult to see exactly where the strike is going. The sledgehammer works well for large areas, but is too heavy 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. Take the handle and hold it with both hands. But don't press down so hard you injure yourself. The hammer should be held straight up with your wrist relaxed. Then swing the hammer back toward the ground, aiming for the center of the nail. You should feel the impact of your hammer hitting the nail. 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. You will need to position the nail so it is parallel to the wood. Keep your eyes focused directly on the tip of the nail. Then, swing the hammer forward. Next, follow the motion of your hammerhead. This can be repeated several times to increase the speed of your swing. Try adding power to your swings when you've mastered the technique. Then, raise the hammer from your shoulder to bring it down. This will help you put more energy behind each of your moves.
Once you've made the first nail hole, take out the hammer. 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.
