How To
Here are some tips on how to drive nails 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 kind of hammer has its own advantages and disadvantages. 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. A sledgehammer allows you to hit large areas simultaneously, but it is too heavy and cumbersome to use for small 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. You can grip the handle with your fingers, but not so tight that it causes injury. You should hold the hammer straight-up, with your wrist still relaxed. Next, swing the hammer toward the ground and aim for the nail's center. You should feel the impact on the nail from the hammer. Practice swinging your hammer on a block of wooden until you feel comfortable.
Once you are ready to drive the nail, place the hammer close to your body. The nail should be perpendicular to wood's surface. Keep your focus on the tip of each nail. Swing the hammer forward, then follow through with the motion of the hammerhead. Repeat this action several times, gradually increasing the speed of the swing. After mastering the technique, you can 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 made the first hole, remove your hammer. Use a pry bar or screwdriver to pull out the rest of the nails. To prevent splitting the wood, ensure you keep the nail heads flush against the board's surface.
