How To
Tips on how to drive a nail 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 comes with its advantages and disadvantages. A claw hammer is best for hitting nails or hard objects. However, it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly where the blow will land. A sledgehammer allows you to hit large areas simultaneously, but it is too heavy and cumbersome to use 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. Grab the handle tightly, but do not squeeze too hard. Your wrist should be relaxed while you hold the hammer straight upwards. Next, swing the hammer toward the ground and aim for the nail's center. 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.
You can now drive the nail by holding the hammer to your body. Position the nail, so it's perpendicular to the surface of the wood. Keep your focus on the tip of each nail. Swing the hammer forward, and then move 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. You can hold the hammer over your shoulder and forcefully 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. To remove the remainder of the nails, you can use a screwdriver/pry bar. You should ensure that the nails are flush with the board's surface to avoid splitting the wood.
