How To
Tips for driving a nail in wood
To drive a nail into wood, the first step is to select the right size and type hammer. There are many types of hammers that you will find: claw hammers and sledgehammers; mallets; ball peen hammers; and hatchets. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses. A claw hammer, for example, is the best choice if you need to hit nails hard. However, it's not easy to know exactly where the impact will land. A sledgehammer allows you to hit large areas simultaneously, but it is too heavy and cumbersome to use for small tasks.
Place your hand flat on the side of your chosen hammer so that the handle rests in your palm. Grab the handle tightly, but do not squeeze too hard. Keep your wrist relaxed and the hammer straight up. You should then swing the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. You should feel the impact on the nail from the hammer. Practice swinging your hammer on a block of wooden until you feel comfortable.
You can now drive the nail by holding the hammer to your body. Place the nail so that it is perpendicular with the wood's surface. Keep your eyes focused directly on the tip of the nail. Then, swing the hammer forward. Next, follow the motion of your hammerhead. Continue this motion several times, slowly increasing the speed of each swing. After mastering the technique, you can add power to your swings. Hold the hammer high above your shoulders and pull it down. This will allow you to exert more energy.
Once you have successfully drilled the first hole in the nail, remove the hammer. To pull out the remaining nails, use a screwdriver or pry bar. To prevent splitting the wood, ensure you keep the nail heads flush against the board's surface.
