How To
How to drive a nails in wood
When driving a nail into wood, it is important to first choose the correct size and kind of hammer. The most common types of hammers are claw hammers, sledgehammers, mallets, ball peen hammers, and hatchets. 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. 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. Grip the handle firmly, but don't squeeze it so tightly that you hurt yourself. You should hold the hammer straight-up, with your wrist still relaxed. You should then swing the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. You should feel the impact of the hammer striking the nail. If you're having trouble getting the hang of swinging a hammer, practice with a block of wood until you get the rhythm down.
Hold the hammer near your body until you're ready for the nail to be driven. Position the nail, so it's perpendicular to the surface of the wood. Keep your attention on the tip. Swing the hammer forward, and then move the hammerhead. Continue this motion several times, slowly increasing the speed of each swing. Once you've mastered the technique, try adding power to your swings. You can hold the hammer over your shoulder and forcefully bring it down. You'll have more energy to work with.
Once you have made the first hole, remove your hammer. To remove the remainder of the nails, you can use a screwdriver/pry bar. To avoid splitting the wood, make sure the nail heads are not touching the board's surface.
