How To
How to drive a nails in 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. A clawhammer works best when hitting something hard like nails. However, it can sometimes be difficult to see exactly where the strike is going. A sledgehammer is useful for striking large areas at once but too heavy to be effective for smaller tasks.
After choosing the right hammer, place your hand flat against the side of the head so that the handle rests comfortably in your palm. 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. Now, move the hammer towards the center of the nail by swinging it back. You should feel the impact of the hammer striking the nail. Try swinging a hammer using a block wood to practice until you are comfortable.
You can now drive the nail by holding the hammer to your body. Place the nail so that it is perpendicular with the wood's surface. Your eyes should be focused on the nail's tip. Swing your hammer forward. Then follow through with the motions of the hammerhead. Keep doing this until you are comfortable with the swing. After mastering the technique, you can add power to your swings. Try holding the hammer above your shoulder and bring it down forcefully. You'll have more energy to work with.
Once you've nailed the first hole, remove the hammer from the nail. You can then remove the rest of the nails using a prybar or a screwdriver. Keep the nail heads parallel to the board's surfaces in order to avoid splitting wood.
