How To
Tips on how to drive a nail in wood
The first step in driving a nail into wood is to choose the correct size and type of hammer. The most popular types of hammers include claw hammers as well as mallets and ball peenhammers. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses. 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. 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. 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. Swing the hammer back towards the ground, with your aim at the middle of the nail. You should feel the impact of your hammer hitting the nail. You can practice swinging the hammer with a block or wood until you feel the rhythm.
The hammer should be held close to your body when you are ready to begin driving the nail. Position the nail, so it's perpendicular to the surface of the wood. Keep your eyes focused directly on the tip of the nail. Move the hammer forward and then continue to move the hammerhead. You can repeat this several times, increasing your swing speed. Once you've mastered the technique, try adding power to your swings. Then, raise the hammer from your shoulder to bring it down. This way, you'll be able to put more energy behind your blows.
Once you've made the first nail hole, take out the hammer. To pull out the remaining nails, use a screwdriver or pry bar. You should ensure that the nails are flush with the board's surface to avoid splitting the wood.
