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. The most popular types of hammers include claw hammers as well as mallets and ball peenhammers. 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 useful for striking large areas at once but too heavy to be effective 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. Hold the handle in your hand, but don’t force it too hard that you break. Your wrist should be relaxed while you hold the hammer straight upwards. Swing the hammer back towards the ground, with your aim at the middle of the nail. The impact of the hammer hitting the nail should be felt. If you're having trouble getting the hang of swinging a hammer, practice with a block of wood until you get the rhythm down.
Hold the hammer near your body until you're ready for the nail to be driven. The nail should be perpendicular to wood's surface. Keep your attention on the tip. Swing the hammer forward, then follow through with the motion of the hammerhead. Continue this motion several times, slowly increasing the speed of each swing. After mastering the technique, you can add power to your swings. You can hold the hammer over your shoulder and forcefully bring it down. This will help you put more energy behind each of your moves.
Once you have made the first hole, remove your hammer. You can then remove the rest of the nails using a prybar or a screwdriver. Keep the nails heads in line with the surface of the board to prevent splitting the wood.
