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. The most commonly used types of Hammers are claw hammers. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses. A clawhammer works best when hitting something hard like nails. However, it can sometimes be difficult to see exactly where the strike is going. The sledgehammer works well for large areas, but is too heavy for smaller tasks.
After selecting the right hammer, you will need to place your hand flat against one side of the head. The handle should rest comfortably in your hands. Take the handle and hold it with both hands. But don't press down so hard you injure yourself. Hold the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. You should then swing the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. You should feel the impact from the hammer striking a nail. Practice swinging your hammer on a block of wooden until you feel comfortable.
When you're ready to start driving the nail, hold the hammer in front of you close to your body. The nail should be perpendicular to wood's surface. Keep your attention on the tip. Swing the hammer forward, then follow through with the motion of the hammerhead. Continue this motion several times, slowly increasing the speed of each swing. Try adding power to your swings when you've mastered the technique. To make it more powerful, hold the hammer up high to your shoulder and then bring it down. This will allow you to exert more energy.
Once you've made the first nail hole, take out 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.
