How To
How to drive a nail through wood
The first step in driving a nail into wood is to choose the correct size and type of hammer. 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, 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 allows you to hit large areas simultaneously, but it is too heavy and cumbersome to use for small 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. Keep your wrist relaxed and the hammer straight up. Swing the hammer back towards the ground, with your aim at the middle of the nail. You should feel the impact from the hammer striking a nail. Practice swinging your hammer on a block of wooden until you feel comfortable.
When you're ready to start driving the nail, hold the hammer in front of you close to your body. The nail should be perpendicular to wood's surface. Keep your attention on the tip. Swing your hammer forward. Then follow through with the motions of the hammerhead. You can repeat this several times, increasing your swing speed. When you are confident with the technique, add power to your swings. You can hold the hammer over your shoulder and forcefully bring it down. You will be able to use more energy and put your best foot forward.
Once you've made the first nail hole, take out the hammer. Use a pry bar or screwdriver to pull out the rest of the nails. Keep the nail heads parallel to the board's surfaces in order to avoid splitting wood.
