How To
How to drive a nail through wood
To drive a nail into wood, the first step is to select the right size and type hammer. The most common types of hammers are claw hammers, sledgehammers, mallets, ball peen hammers, and hatchets. 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. The sledgehammer works well for large areas, but is too heavy 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. Hold the handle in your hand, but don’t force it too hard that you break. 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. If you're having trouble getting the hang of swinging a hammer, practice with a block of wood until you get the rhythm down.
When you're ready to start driving the nail, hold the hammer in front of you close to your body. To ensure that the nail is perpendicular on the surface of the wooden floor, position it. Keep your eyes focused directly on the tip of the nail. Then, swing the hammer forward. Next, follow the motion of your 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. Hold the hammer high above your shoulders and pull it down. This will help you put more energy behind each of your moves.
Once you've nailed the first hole, remove the hammer from the nail. You can then remove the rest of the nails using a prybar or a screwdriver. Keep the nail heads parallel to the board's surfaces in order to avoid splitting wood.
