How To
How to drive a nail through wood
When driving a nail into wood, it is important to first choose the correct size and kind of hammer. The most common types of hammers are claw hammers, sledgehammers, mallets, ball peen hammers, and hatchets. Each type of hammer comes with its advantages and disadvantages. A claw hammer, for example, is the best choice if you need to hit nails hard. However, it's not easy to know exactly where the impact will land. A sledgehammer is useful for striking large areas at once but too heavy to be effective for smaller tasks.
Place your hand flat on the side of your chosen hammer so that the handle rests in your palm. Take the handle and hold it with both hands. But don't press down so hard you injure yourself. Your wrist should be relaxed while you hold the hammer straight upwards. 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 swinging a hammer using a block wood to practice until you are comfortable.
Hold the hammer near your body until you're ready for the nail to be driven. Place the nail so that it is perpendicular with the wood's surface. Keep your eyes focused directly on the tip of the nail. Swing the hammer forward, and then move the hammerhead. This can be repeated several times to increase the speed of your 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 made the first hole, remove your hammer. To pull out the remaining nails, use a screwdriver or pry bar. Keep the nail heads parallel to the board's surfaces in order to avoid splitting wood.
