How To
How to drive a 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 commonly used types of Hammers are claw hammers. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses. 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 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. You should hold the hammer straight-up, with your wrist still relaxed. Swing the hammer back towards the ground, with your aim at the middle of the nail. 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. Position the nail, so it's perpendicular to the surface of the wood. Keep your attention on the tip. Move the hammer forward and then continue to move the hammerhead. This can be repeated several times to increase the speed of your swing. When you are confident with the technique, add power to your swings. Then, raise the hammer from your shoulder to bring it down. You'll have more energy to work with.
After you have nailed the hole, take the hammer off the nail. Use a pry bar or screwdriver to pull out the rest of the nails. Keep the nail heads parallel to the board's surfaces in order to avoid splitting wood.
