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 popular types of hammers include claw hammers as well as mallets and ball peenhammers. Each type of hammer comes with its advantages and disadvantages. A clawhammer works best when hitting something hard like nails. However, it can sometimes be difficult to see exactly where the strike is going. The sledgehammer works well for large areas, but is too heavy for smaller 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. You can grip the handle with your fingers, but not so tight that it causes injury. You should hold the hammer straight-up, with your wrist still relaxed. Now, move the hammer towards the center of the nail by swinging it back. You should feel the impact from the hammer striking a nail. 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. Keep your attention on the tip. Swing the hammer forward, and then move the hammerhead. Keep doing this until you are comfortable with the swing. After mastering the technique, you can add power to your swings. To make it more powerful, hold the hammer up high to your shoulder and then bring it down. This way, you'll be able to put more energy behind your blows.
Once you've nailed the first hole, remove the hammer from the nail. To pull out the remaining nails, use a screwdriver or pry bar. To avoid splitting the wood, make sure the nail heads are not touching the board's surface.
