Professionals will be meticulous about all aspects of their work, from selecting the right materials to finishing it.

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 tool has its advantages and drawbacks. A claw hammer works well when you're trying to hit nails with a heavy hammer. However it is difficult to precisely control where the blow hits. A sledgehammer is useful for striking large areas at once but too heavy to be effective for smaller tasks.

After you've chosen the right tool, hold your hand flat to the handle so it rests comfortably in one of your palms. Hold the handle in your hand, but don’t force it too hard that you break. Hold the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. You should then swing the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. You should feel the impact from the hammer striking a nail. Try practicing with a block to help you master the art of swinging a stick.

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 your hammer forward. Then follow through with the motions of the hammerhead. Repeat this action several times, gradually increasing the speed of the swing. When you are confident with the technique, add power to your swings. Hold the hammer high above your shoulders and pull it down. You'll have more energy to work with.

Once you have successfully drilled the first hole in the nail, remove the hammer. To pull out the remaining nails, use a screwdriver or pry bar. To avoid splitting the wood, make sure the nail heads are not touching the board's surface.
