How To
How to drive a nails in wood
To drive a nail into wood, the first step is to select the right size and type hammer. There are many types of hammers that you will find: claw hammers and sledgehammers; mallets; ball peen hammers; and hatchets. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses. A claw hammer is best for hitting nails or hard objects. However, it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly where the blow will land. A sledgehammer is useful for striking large areas at once but too heavy to be effective 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. Grip the handle firmly, but don't squeeze it so tightly that you hurt yourself. Keep your wrist relaxed and the hammer straight up. Now, move the hammer towards the center of the nail by swinging it back. The impact of the hammer hitting the nail should be felt. You can practice swinging the hammer with a block or wood until you feel the rhythm.
Once you are ready to drive the nail, place the hammer close to your body. You will need to position the nail so it is parallel to the wood. Keep your focus on the tip of each nail. Then, swing the hammer forward. Next, follow the motion of your hammerhead. This can be repeated several times to increase the speed of your swing. Once you've mastered the technique, try adding power to your swings. Try holding the hammer above your shoulder and bring it down forcefully. This will allow you to exert more energy.
Once you've nailed the first hole, remove the hammer from the nail. To pull out the remaining nails, use a screwdriver or pry bar. To prevent splitting the wood, ensure you keep the nail heads flush against the board's surface.
