If you have a Colwood detailer or Super Pro woodburning unit, you'll want to buy an extra handpiece cord for it. This cord allows maximum heat transmission to the handpiece's tip. This cord won't work if the cub is used. This cord is a good choice if you burn harder and grainier woods. Its lugs can be easily attached and removed.

How To

Tips on how to drive a nail in wood

To drive a nail into wood, the first step is to select the right size and type 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. For example, a claw hammer works best when you want to hit something hard, like nails; however, it's difficult to control precisely where the blow lands. The sledgehammer works well for large areas, but is too heavy for smaller tasks.

After choosing the right hammer, place your hand flat against the side of the head so that the handle rests comfortably in your palm. 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. Swing the hammer back towards the ground, with your aim at the middle of the nail. You should feel the impact of the hammer striking the nail. If you're having trouble getting the hang of swinging a hammer, practice with a block of wood until you get the rhythm down.

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. Your eyes should be focused on the nail's tip. 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. Try adding power to your swings when you've mastered the technique. Hold the hammer high above your shoulders and pull it down. You will be able to use more energy and put your best foot forward.

Once you've made the first nail hole, take out the hammer. 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.
