How To
Tips for driving a nail in wood
First, choose the right size and type of tool to drive a nail through wood. There are many types of hammers that you will find: claw hammers and sledgehammers; mallets; ball peen hammers; and hatchets. Each type of tool has its advantages and drawbacks. 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. The sledgehammer works well for large areas, but is too heavy 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. Take the handle and hold it with both hands. But don't press down so hard you injure yourself. 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 from the hammer striking a nail. Practice swinging your hammer on a block of wooden until you feel comfortable.
The hammer should be held close to your body when you are ready to begin driving the nail. To ensure that the nail is perpendicular on the surface of the wooden floor, position it. Keep your focus on the tip of each nail. Swing your hammer forward. Then follow through with the motions of the hammerhead. Repeat this action several times, gradually increasing the speed of the swing. Once you've mastered the technique, try adding 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 made the first nail hole, take out the hammer. You can then remove the rest of the nails using a prybar or a screwdriver. To avoid splitting the wood, make sure the nail heads are not touching the board's surface.
