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. Claw hammers include mallets, claw hammers (sledgehammers), mallets, ball-peen hammers, hatchets, and mallets. Each type of hammer has its pros and cons. 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. Although a sledgehammer can be used to hit large areas quickly, it is too heavy to be useful for small tasks.
After you've chosen the right tool, hold your hand flat to the handle so it rests comfortably in one of your palms. You can grip the handle with your fingers, but not so tight that it causes injury. 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. You should feel the impact of your hammer hitting the nail. Try practicing with a block to help you master the art of swinging a stick.
Hold the hammer near your body until you're ready for the nail to be driven. You will need to position the nail so it is parallel to the wood. Keep your focus on the tip of each nail. Swing your hammer forward. Then follow through with the motions of the hammerhead. This can be repeated several times to increase the speed of your swing. Once you have mastered this technique, increase the power of your swings. Then, raise the hammer from your shoulder to bring it down. You'll have more energy to work with.
After you have nailed the hole, take the hammer off the nail. Use a pry bar or screwdriver to pull out the rest of the nails. Keep the nails heads in line with the surface of the board to prevent splitting the wood.
