How To
Tips for driving a nail in wood
It is essential to pick the right size and style of hammer before you can drive a nail in wood. The most commonly used types of Hammers are claw hammers. Each type of hammer has its pros and cons. A clawhammer works best when hitting something hard like nails. However, it can sometimes be difficult to see exactly where the strike is going. 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. Swing the hammer back towards the ground, with your aim at the middle of the nail. The impact of the hammer hitting the nail should be felt. Try swinging a hammer using a block wood to practice until you are comfortable.
The hammer should be held close to your body when you are ready to begin driving the nail. Place the nail so that it is perpendicular with the 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. Continue this motion several times, slowly increasing the speed of each swing. Try adding power to your swings when you've mastered the technique. Hold the hammer high above your shoulders and pull it down. You will be able to use more energy and put your best foot forward.
Once you have made the first hole, remove your hammer. The rest of the nails can be pulled out using a screwdriver, pry bar, or a hammer. Keep the nail heads parallel to the board's surfaces in order to avoid splitting wood.
