How To
How to drive a nails in wood
First, choose the right size and type of tool to drive a nail through wood. The most commonly used types of Hammers are claw hammers. 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.
Once you have chosen the right hammer for you, put your hand flat against its side so that it rests comfortably in the palm of your hand. Grip the handle firmly, but don't squeeze it so tightly that you hurt yourself. Keep your wrist relaxed and the hammer straight up. Then swing the hammer back toward the ground, aiming for the center of the nail. You should feel the impact of the hammer striking the nail. 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. Place the nail so that it is perpendicular with the wood's surface. Keep your eyes focused directly on the tip of the nail. Swing the hammer forward, then follow through with the motion of the hammerhead. You can repeat this several times, increasing your swing speed. Try adding power to your swings when you've mastered the technique. Hold the hammer high above your shoulders and pull it down. This way, you'll be able to put more energy behind your blows.
Once you've made the first nail hole, take out the hammer. The rest of the nails can be pulled out using a screwdriver, pry bar, or a hammer. To prevent splitting the wood, ensure you keep the nail heads flush against the board's surface.
