Tips on how to drive a nail in wood

The first step in driving a nail into wood is to choose the correct size and type of 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. Grab the handle tightly, but do not squeeze too hard. Hold the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. Next, swing the hammer toward the ground and aim for the nail's center. You should feel the impact of your hammer hitting the nail. Try practicing with a block to help you master the art of swinging a stick.

You can now drive the nail by holding the hammer to your body. The nail should be perpendicular to wood's surface. Keep your focus on the tip of each nail. 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. Once you have mastered this technique, increase the power of your swings. You can hold the hammer over your shoulder and forcefully bring it down. This way, you'll be able to put more energy behind your blows.

After you have nailed the hole, take the hammer off the nail. You can then remove the rest of the nails using a prybar or a screwdriver. Keep the nail heads parallel to the board's surfaces in order to avoid splitting wood.
