How To
Tips for driving a nail in wood
First, choose the right size and type of tool to drive a nail through wood. Claw hammers include mallets, claw hammers (sledgehammers), mallets, ball-peen hammers, hatchets, and mallets. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses. 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. Although a sledgehammer can be used to hit large areas quickly, it is too heavy to be useful for small tasks.
After you've chosen the right tool, hold your hand flat to the handle so it rests comfortably in one of your palms. You can grip the handle with your fingers, but not so tight that it causes injury. You should hold the hammer straight-up, with your wrist still relaxed. Now, move the hammer towards the center of the nail by swinging it back. 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. To ensure that the nail is perpendicular on the surface of the wooden floor, position it. Keep your attention on the tip. Swing the hammer forward, and then move the hammerhead. Continue this motion several times, slowly increasing the speed of each swing. Once you've mastered the technique, try adding power to your swings. You can hold the hammer over your shoulder and forcefully bring it down. You will be able to use more energy and put your best foot forward.
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.
