How To
Here are some tips on how to drive nails in wood
It is essential to pick the right size and style of hammer before you can drive a nail in wood. The most popular types of hammers include claw hammers as well as mallets and ball peenhammers. Each type of tool has its advantages and drawbacks. 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. The sledgehammer works well for large areas, but is too heavy for smaller tasks.
Place your hand flat on the side of your chosen hammer so that the handle rests in your palm. Grab the handle tightly, but do not squeeze too hard. The hammer should be held straight up with your wrist relaxed. Next, swing the hammer toward the ground and aim for the nail's center. You should feel the impact on the nail from the hammer. If you're having trouble getting the hang of swinging a hammer, practice with a block of wood until you get the rhythm down.
Once you are ready to drive the nail, place the hammer close to your body. Place the nail so that it is perpendicular with the wood's surface. Your eyes should be focused on the nail's tip. Swing your hammer forward. Then follow through with the motions of the hammerhead. You can repeat this several times, increasing your swing speed. After mastering the technique, you can add power to your swings. Hold the hammer high above your shoulders and pull it down. This will help you put more energy behind each of your moves.
After you have nailed the hole, take the hammer off the nail. Use a pry bar or screwdriver to pull out the rest of the nails. Keep the nails heads in line with the surface of the board to prevent splitting the wood.
