How To
Here are some tips on how to drive nails in wood
First, choose the right size and type of tool to drive a nail through wood. The most commonly used types of Hammers are claw hammers. Each type of tool has its advantages and drawbacks. A claw hammer is best for hitting nails or hard objects. However, it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly where the blow will land. The sledgehammer works well for large areas, but is too heavy for smaller tasks.
Place your hand flat on the side of your chosen hammer so that the handle rests in your palm. 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. Swing the hammer back towards the ground, with your aim at the middle of the nail. The impact of the hammer hitting the nail should be felt. If you're having trouble getting the hang of swinging a hammer, practice with a block of wood until you get the rhythm down.
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 eyes focused directly on the tip of the nail. Swing your hammer forward. Then follow through with the motions of the hammerhead. Continue this motion several times, slowly increasing the speed of each 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. This way, you'll be able to put more energy behind your blows.
Once you've nailed the first hole, remove the hammer from the nail. Use a pry bar or screwdriver to pull out the rest of the nails. To avoid splitting the wood, make sure the nail heads are not touching the board's surface.
