How To
Here are some tips on how to drive nails in wood
It is essential to pick the right size and style of hammer before you can drive a nail in wood. The most popular types of hammers include claw hammers as well as mallets and ball peenhammers. Each type of tool has its advantages and drawbacks. A claw hammer works well when you're trying to hit nails with a heavy hammer. However it is difficult to precisely control where the blow hits. A sledgehammer is great for hitting large areas at once, but it's too heavy to use effectively for smaller 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. Keep your wrist relaxed and the hammer straight up. Next, swing the hammer toward the ground and aim for the nail's center. You should feel the impact on the nail from the hammer. If you're having trouble getting the hang of swinging a hammer, practice with a block of wood until you get the rhythm down.
Hold the hammer near your body until you're ready for the nail to be driven. 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, then follow through with the motion of 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. You will be able to use more energy and put your best foot forward.
After you have nailed the hole, take the hammer off the nail. To remove the remainder of the nails, you can use a screwdriver/pry bar. To prevent splitting the wood, ensure you keep the nail heads flush against the board's surface.
