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 tool has its advantages and drawbacks. For example, a claw hammer works best when you want to hit something hard, like nails; however, it's difficult to control precisely where the blow lands. Although a sledgehammer can be used to hit large areas quickly, it is too heavy to be useful for small tasks.
After selecting the right hammer, you will need to place your hand flat against one side of the head. The handle should rest comfortably in your hands. Grab the handle tightly, but do not squeeze too hard. The hammer should be held straight up with your wrist relaxed. Then swing the hammer back toward the ground, aiming for the center of the nail. You should feel the impact from the hammer striking a nail. 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. The nail should be perpendicular to wood's surface. Keep your eyes focused directly on the tip of the nail. Move the hammer forward and then continue to move the hammerhead. You can repeat this several times, increasing your swing speed. After mastering the technique, you can add power to your swings. Try holding the hammer above your shoulder and bring it down forcefully. This will allow you to exert more energy.
Once you have successfully drilled the first hole in the nail, remove the hammer. To remove the remainder of the nails, you can use a screwdriver/pry bar. Keep the nails heads in line with the surface of the board to prevent splitting the wood.
