How To
How to drive a nail through wood
The first step in driving a nail into wood is to choose the correct size and type of hammer. The most common types of hammers are claw hammers, sledgehammers, mallets, ball peen hammers, and hatchets. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses. 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. A sledgehammer is great for hitting large areas at once, but it's too heavy to use effectively 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. You can grip the handle with your fingers, but not so tight that it causes injury. The hammer should be held straight up with your wrist relaxed. You should then swing the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. You should feel the impact of your hammer hitting the nail. Try swinging a hammer using a block wood to practice until you are 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 eyes on the 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. You can hold the hammer over your shoulder and forcefully bring it down. This way, you'll be able to put more energy behind your blows.
Once you've nailed the first hole, remove the hammer from the nail. You can then remove the rest of the nails using a prybar or a screwdriver. Keep the nails heads in line with the surface of the board to prevent splitting the wood.
