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. There are many types of hammers that you will find: claw hammers and sledgehammers; mallets; ball peen hammers; and hatchets. Each kind of hammer has its own advantages and disadvantages. A claw hammer is best for hitting nails or hard objects. However, it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly where the blow will land. The sledgehammer works well for large areas, but is too heavy 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. You can grip the handle with your fingers, but not so tight that it causes injury. Hold the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. 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. You can practice swinging the hammer with a block or wood until you feel the rhythm.
Hold the hammer near your body until you're ready for the nail to be driven. You will need to position the nail so it is parallel to the wood. Keep your eyes on the tip. Swing your hammer forward. Then follow through with the motions of the hammerhead. Repeat this action several times, gradually increasing the speed of the swing. Once you have mastered this technique, increase the power of your swings. Then, raise the hammer from your shoulder to bring it down. This way, you'll be able to put more energy behind your blows.
Once you have made the first hole, remove your hammer. 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.
