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. The most popular types of hammers include claw hammers as well as mallets and ball peenhammers. Each type of hammer has its pros and cons. 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.
After selecting the right hammer, you will need to place your hand flat against one side of the head. The handle should rest comfortably in your hands. Grab the handle tightly, but do not squeeze too hard. Keep your wrist relaxed and the hammer straight up. Then swing the hammer back toward the ground, aiming for the center of the nail. You should feel the impact of the hammer striking the nail. Try practicing with a block to help you master the art of swinging a stick.
You can now drive the nail by holding the hammer to your body. The nail should be perpendicular to wood's surface. Keep your attention on the tip. Swing the hammer forward, and then move 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. Hold the hammer high above your shoulders and pull it down. This way, you'll be able to put more energy behind your blows.
Once you've made the first nail hole, take out the hammer. You can then remove the rest of the nails using a prybar or a screwdriver. You should ensure that the nails are flush with the board's surface to avoid splitting the wood.
