How To
Here are some tips on how to drive nails in wood
First, choose the right size and type of tool to drive a nail through wood. There are many types of hammers that you will find: claw hammers and sledgehammers; mallets; ball peen hammers; and hatchets. Each kind of hammer has its own 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. 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. Grip the handle firmly, but don't squeeze it so tightly that you hurt yourself. Hold the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. Swing the hammer back towards the ground, with your aim at the middle of the nail. The impact of the hammer hitting the nail should be felt. You can practice swinging the hammer with a block or wood until you feel the rhythm.
You can now drive the nail by holding the hammer to your body. To ensure that the nail is perpendicular on the surface of the wooden floor, position it. Your eyes should be focused on the nail's tip. Then, swing the hammer forward. Next, follow the motion of your 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. Then, raise the hammer from your shoulder to bring it down. You'll have more energy to work with.
Once you have made the first hole, remove your hammer. To pull out the remaining nails, use a screwdriver or pry bar. Keep the nails heads in line with the surface of the board to prevent splitting the wood.
