How To
Tips on how to drive a nail in wood
It is essential to pick the right size and style of hammer before you can drive a nail in wood. Claw hammers include mallets, claw hammers (sledgehammers), mallets, ball-peen hammers, hatchets, and mallets. Each type of hammer comes with its 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. Although a sledgehammer can be used to hit large areas quickly, it is too heavy to be useful for small tasks.
After you've chosen the right tool, hold your hand flat to the handle so it rests comfortably in one of your palms. Hold the handle in your hand, but don’t force it too hard that you break. Keep your wrist relaxed and the hammer straight up. You should then swing the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. You should feel the impact of your hammer hitting the nail. You can practice swinging the hammer with a block or wood until you feel the rhythm.
You can now drive the nail by holding the hammer to your body. You will need to position the nail so it is parallel to the wood. Your eyes should be focused on the nail's tip. Move the hammer forward and then continue to move the hammerhead. Keep doing this until you are comfortable with the swing. Once you've mastered the technique, try adding power to your swings. Then, raise the hammer from your shoulder to bring it down. This will allow you to exert more energy.
After you have nailed the hole, take the hammer off the nail. Use a pry bar or screwdriver to pull out the rest of the nails. Keep the nails heads in line with the surface of the board to prevent splitting the wood.
