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. The most common types of hammers are claw hammers, sledgehammers, mallets, ball peen hammers, and hatchets. Each type of tool has its advantages and drawbacks. 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 is great for hitting large areas at once, but it's too heavy to use effectively for smaller tasks.
Place your hand flat on the side of your chosen hammer so that the handle rests in your palm. Grab the handle tightly, but do not squeeze too hard. You should hold the hammer straight-up, with your wrist still relaxed. You should then swing the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. You should feel the impact of the hammer striking the nail. You can practice swinging the hammer with a block or wood until you feel the rhythm.
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 focus on the tip of each nail. Swing the hammer forward, then follow through with the motion of the hammerhead. Keep doing this until you are comfortable with the swing. When you are confident with the technique, add power to your swings. To make it more powerful, hold the hammer up high to your shoulder and then bring it down. This will help you put more energy behind each of your moves.
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. To avoid splitting the wood, make sure the nail heads are not touching the board's surface.
