How To

Here are some tips on how to drive nails in wood

When driving a nail into wood, it is important to first choose the correct size and kind of hammer. There are many types of hammers that you will find: claw hammers and sledgehammers; mallets; ball peen hammers; and hatchets. Each type of hammer has its pros and cons. A clawhammer works best when hitting something hard like nails. However, it can sometimes be difficult to see exactly where the strike is going. 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. You can grip the handle with your fingers, but not so tight that it causes injury. Keep your wrist relaxed and the hammer straight up. Next, swing the hammer toward the ground and aim for the nail's center. You should feel the impact from the hammer striking a nail. Try swinging a hammer using a block wood to practice until you are comfortable.

The hammer should be held close to your body when you are ready to begin driving the nail. 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. Swing the hammer forward, and then move the hammerhead. Continue this motion several times, slowly increasing the speed of each swing. When you are confident with the technique, add power to your swings. To make it more powerful, hold the hammer up high to your shoulder and then bring it down. This way, you'll be able to put more energy behind your blows.

Once you have successfully drilled the first hole in the nail, remove the hammer. To remove the remainder of the nails, you can use a screwdriver/pry bar. Keep the nails heads in line with the surface of the board to prevent splitting the wood.
