How To
Tips on how to drive 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 common types of hammers are claw hammers, sledgehammers, mallets, ball peen hammers, and hatchets. Each kind of hammer has its own advantages and disadvantages. 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 useful for striking large areas at once but too heavy to be effective for smaller tasks.
Place your hand flat on the side of your chosen hammer so that the handle rests in your palm. Grab the handle tightly, but do not squeeze too hard. 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. The impact of the hammer hitting the nail should be felt. Try practicing with a block to help you master the art of swinging a stick.
Once you are ready to drive the nail, place the hammer close to your body. Place the nail so that it is perpendicular with the wood's surface. Keep your eyes on the tip. Swing the hammer forward, then follow through with the motion of the 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. Then, raise the hammer from your shoulder to bring it down. This will allow you to exert more energy.
Once you have successfully drilled the first hole in the nail, remove the hammer. The rest of the nails can be pulled out using a screwdriver, pry bar, or a hammer. Keep the nail heads parallel to the board's surfaces in order to avoid splitting wood.
