How To
Tips on how to drive a nail in wood
To drive a nail into wood, the first step is to select the right size and type hammer. Claw hammers include mallets, claw hammers (sledgehammers), mallets, ball-peen hammers, hatchets, and mallets. 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. Although a sledgehammer can be used to hit large areas quickly, it is too heavy to be useful for small tasks.
After choosing the right hammer, place your hand flat against the side of the head so that the handle rests comfortably in your palm. Hold the handle in your hand, but don’t force it too hard that you break. Your wrist should be relaxed while you hold the hammer straight upwards. Then swing the hammer back toward the ground, aiming for the center of the nail. The impact of the hammer hitting the nail should be felt. Try practicing with a block to help you master the art of swinging a stick.
Once you are ready to drive the nail, place the hammer close to your body. Position the nail, so it's perpendicular to the surface of the wood. Keep your attention on the tip. Swing your hammer forward. Then follow through with the motions of the hammerhead. Continue this motion several times, slowly increasing the speed of each swing. When you are confident with the technique, add power to your swings. Try holding the hammer above your shoulder and bring it down forcefully. You'll have more energy to work with.
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. Keep the nail heads parallel to the board's surfaces in order to avoid splitting wood.
