This message spread quickly and was widely known even though there was no internet at that time.

How To
Tips for driving a nail in wood
It is essential to pick the right size and style of hammer before you can drive a nail in wood. Claw hammers include mallets, claw hammers (sledgehammers), mallets, ball-peen hammers, hatchets, and mallets. Each type of hammer comes with its advantages and disadvantages. For example, a claw hammer works best when you want to hit something hard, like nails; however, it's difficult to control precisely where the blow lands. 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. Grip the handle firmly, but don't squeeze it so tightly that you hurt yourself. Hold the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. You should then swing the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. You should feel the impact of your hammer hitting the nail. If you're having trouble getting the hang of swinging a hammer, practice with a block of wood until you get the rhythm down.
Hold the hammer near your body until you're ready for the nail to be driven. 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. Repeat this action several times, gradually increasing the speed of the swing. Try adding power to your swings when you've mastered the technique. Try holding the hammer above your shoulder and bring it down forcefully. This will allow you to exert more energy.
Once you have made the first hole, remove your hammer. The rest of the nails can be pulled out using a screwdriver, pry bar, or a hammer. To avoid splitting the wood, make sure the nail heads are not touching the board's surface.
