How To

How to drive a nail through wood

To drive a nail into wood, the first step is to select the right size and type hammer. The most popular types of hammers include claw hammers as well as mallets and ball peenhammers. Each type of hammer comes with its 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. Grab the handle tightly, but do not squeeze too hard. Your wrist should be relaxed while you hold the hammer straight upwards. 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. Try swinging a hammer using a block wood to practice until you are comfortable.

Once you are ready to drive the nail, place the hammer close to your body. Position the nail, so it's perpendicular to the surface of the wood. Your eyes should be focused on the nail's tip. Swing the hammer forward, and then move the hammerhead. This can be repeated several times to increase the speed of your swing. When you are confident with the technique, add power to your swings. Try holding the hammer above your shoulder and bring it down forcefully. This will help you put more energy behind each of your moves.

Once you've nailed the first hole, remove the hammer from the nail. 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.
