How To
Here are some tips on how to drive nails in wood
The first step in driving a nail into wood is to choose the correct size and type of hammer. Claw hammers include mallets, claw hammers (sledgehammers), mallets, ball-peen hammers, hatchets, and mallets. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses. 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. Although a sledgehammer can be used to hit large areas quickly, it is too heavy to be useful for small tasks.
After choosing the right hammer, place your hand flat against the side of the head so that the handle rests comfortably in your palm. Grab the handle tightly, but do not squeeze too hard. 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 on the nail from the hammer. Try practicing with a block to help you master the art of swinging a stick.
Once you are ready to drive the nail, place the hammer close to your body. Place the nail so that it is perpendicular with the wood's surface. Keep your attention on the tip. Swing the hammer forward, then follow through with the motion of the hammerhead. Repeat this action several times, gradually increasing the speed of the swing. When you are confident with the technique, add power to your swings. Try holding the hammer above your shoulder and bring it down forcefully. You will be able to use more energy and put your best foot forward.
Once you've nailed the first hole, remove the hammer from the nail. The rest of the nails can be pulled out using a screwdriver, pry bar, or a hammer. You should ensure that the nails are flush with the board's surface to avoid splitting the wood.
