How To
Here are some tips on how to drive nails in wood
It is essential to pick the right size and style of hammer before you can drive a nail in wood. The most common types of hammers are claw hammers, sledgehammers, mallets, ball peen hammers, and hatchets. Each type of hammer comes with its advantages and disadvantages. For example, a claw hammer works best when you want to hit something hard, like nails; however, it's difficult to control precisely where the blow lands. A sledgehammer is great for hitting large areas at once, but it's too heavy to use effectively for smaller tasks.
After you've chosen the right tool, hold your hand flat to the handle so it rests comfortably in one of your palms. You can grip the handle with your fingers, but not so tight that it causes injury. The hammer should be held straight up with your wrist relaxed. You should then swing the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. You should feel the impact from the hammer striking a nail. Practice swinging your hammer on a block of wooden until you feel 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. Your eyes should be focused on the nail's tip. Swing your hammer forward. Then follow through with the motions of the hammerhead. Continue this motion several times, slowly increasing the speed of each swing. Try adding power to your swings when you've mastered the technique. Try holding the hammer above your shoulder and bring it down forcefully. This way, you'll be able to put more energy behind your blows.
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. To avoid splitting the wood, make sure the nail heads are not touching the board's surface.
