How To
Tips for driving a nail in wood
When driving a nail into wood, it is important to first choose the correct size and kind of hammer. The most commonly used types of Hammers are claw hammers. Each kind of hammer has its own advantages and disadvantages. 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.
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. Grab the handle tightly, but do not squeeze too hard. Hold the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. You should then swing the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. The impact of the hammer hitting the nail should be felt. Practice swinging your hammer on a block of wooden until you feel comfortable.
Hold the hammer near your body until you're ready for the nail to be driven. Place the nail so that it is perpendicular with the 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. You can repeat this several times, increasing your swing speed. After mastering the technique, you can add power to your swings. Hold the hammer high above your shoulders and pull it down. This will allow you to exert more energy.
Once you have successfully drilled the first hole in the nail, remove the hammer. 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.
