How To
Here are some tips on how to drive nails in wood
It is essential to pick the right size and style of hammer before you can drive a nail in wood. The most popular types of hammers include claw hammers as well as mallets and ball peenhammers. Each kind of hammer has its own advantages and disadvantages. 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. A sledgehammer is useful for striking large areas at once but too heavy to be effective for smaller tasks.
Once you have chosen the right hammer for you, put your hand flat against its side so that it rests comfortably in the palm of your hand. 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. The impact of the hammer hitting the nail should be felt. 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. To ensure that the nail is perpendicular on the surface of the wooden floor, position it. Keep your eyes on the tip. Swing the hammer forward, then follow through with the motion of 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 will allow you to exert more energy.
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.
