How To
Tips for driving a nail in wood
The first step in driving a nail into wood is to choose the correct size and type of hammer. The most common types of hammers are claw hammers, sledgehammers, mallets, ball peen hammers, and hatchets. Each type of tool has its advantages and drawbacks. A claw hammer works well when you're trying to hit nails with a heavy hammer. However it is difficult to precisely control where the blow hits. A sledgehammer allows you to hit large areas simultaneously, but it is too heavy and cumbersome to use 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. You can grip the handle with your fingers, but not so tight that it causes injury. Hold the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist 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. Try practicing with a block to help you master the art of swinging a stick.
The hammer should be held close to your body when you are ready to begin driving the nail. The nail should be perpendicular to wood's surface. Your eyes should be focused on the nail's tip. Then, swing the hammer forward. Next, follow the motion of your hammerhead. You can repeat this several times, increasing your swing speed. When you are confident with the technique, add power to your swings. Then, raise the hammer from your shoulder to bring it down. You will be able to use more energy and put your best foot forward.
Once you've made the first nail hole, take out 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.
