How To
Here are some tips on how to drive nails in wood
To drive a nail into wood, the first step is to select the right size and type 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 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 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. Grip the handle firmly, but don't squeeze it so tightly that you hurt yourself. The hammer should be held straight up with your wrist 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. You will need to position the nail so it is parallel to the wood. Keep your attention on the tip. Swing the hammer forward, and then move the hammerhead. This can be repeated several times to increase the speed of your swing. When you are confident with the technique, 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 made the first hole, remove your hammer. Use a pry bar or screwdriver to pull out the rest of the nails. You should ensure that the nails are flush with the board's surface to avoid splitting the wood.
