How To
How to drive a nail through wood
When driving a nail into wood, it is important to first choose the correct size and kind of hammer. There are many types of hammers that you will find: claw hammers and sledgehammers; mallets; ball peen hammers; and hatchets. Each type of hammer has its pros and cons. 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 you've chosen the right tool, hold your hand flat to the handle so it rests comfortably in one of your palms. You can grip the handle with your fingers, but not so tight that it causes injury. Keep your wrist relaxed and the hammer straight up. Now, move the hammer towards the center of the nail by swinging it back. You should feel the impact on the nail from the hammer. Practice swinging your hammer on a block of wooden until you feel comfortable.
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 your hammer forward. Then follow through with the motions of the hammerhead. Keep doing this until you are comfortable with the swing. Try adding power to your swings when you've mastered the technique. To make it more powerful, hold the hammer up high to your shoulder and then bring it down. You will be able to use more energy and put your best foot forward.
Once you have successfully drilled the first hole in the nail, remove the hammer. The rest of the nails can be pulled out using a screwdriver, pry bar, or a hammer. Keep the nail heads parallel to the board's surfaces in order to avoid splitting wood.
