How To
Tips on how to drive a nail in wood
The first step in driving a nail into wood is to choose the correct size and type of hammer. 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, for example, is the best choice if you need to hit nails hard. However, it's not easy to know exactly where the impact will land. A sledgehammer is useful for striking large areas at once but too heavy to be effective 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. Grab the handle tightly, but do not squeeze too hard. Your wrist should be relaxed while you hold the hammer straight upwards. Next, swing the hammer toward the ground and aim for the nail's center. 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.
You can now drive the nail by holding the hammer to your body. Place the nail so that it is perpendicular with the wood's surface. Keep your eyes on the tip. Swing the hammer forward, and then 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. Try holding the hammer above your shoulder and bring it down forcefully. This will help you put more energy behind each of your moves.
Once you have successfully drilled the first hole in the nail, remove the hammer. To remove the remainder of the nails, you can use a screwdriver/pry bar. You should ensure that the nails are flush with the board's surface to avoid splitting the wood.
