How To
Tips on how to drive a nail in wood
The first step in driving a nail into wood is to choose the correct size and type of hammer. The most commonly used types of Hammers are claw hammers. Each type of tool has its advantages and drawbacks. A claw hammer, for example, is the best choice if you need to hit nails hard. However, it's not easy to know exactly where the impact will land. A sledgehammer is great for hitting large areas at once, but it's too heavy to use effectively for smaller tasks.
After you've chosen the right tool, hold your hand flat to the handle so it rests comfortably in one of your palms. Take the handle and hold it with both hands. But don't press down so hard you injure yourself. You should hold the hammer straight-up, with your wrist still relaxed. Then swing the hammer back toward the ground, aiming for the center of the nail. You should feel the impact of the hammer striking the 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. You will need to position the nail so it is parallel to the wood. Keep your eyes focused directly on the tip of the nail. Then, swing the hammer forward. Next, follow the motion of your hammerhead. This can be repeated several times to increase the speed of your 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. 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. Keep the nail heads parallel to the board's surfaces in order to avoid splitting wood.
