How To
How to drive a nails 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 kind of hammer has its own advantages and disadvantages. 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 great for hitting large areas at once, but it's too heavy to use effectively 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. 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. Then swing the hammer back toward the ground, aiming for the center of the nail. You should feel the impact from the hammer striking a nail. Try swinging a hammer using a block wood to practice until you are comfortable.
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. Repeat this action several times, gradually increasing the speed of the swing. Once you've mastered the technique, try adding 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 have successfully drilled the first hole in the nail, remove the hammer. The rest of the nails can be pulled out using a screwdriver, pry bar, or a hammer. To prevent splitting the wood, ensure you keep the nail heads flush against the board's surface.
