How To
Here are some tips on how to drive nails in wood
When driving a nail into wood, it is important to first choose the correct size and kind of hammer. The most commonly used types of Hammers are claw hammers. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses. A claw hammer is best for hitting nails or hard objects. However, it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly where the blow will land. 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. You can grip the handle with your fingers, but not so tight that it causes injury. The hammer should be held straight up with 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. If you're having trouble getting the hang of swinging a hammer, practice with a block of wood until you get the rhythm down.
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 focus on the tip of each nail. Swing the hammer forward, and then move the hammerhead. This can be repeated several times to increase the speed of your 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. You will be able to use more energy and put your best foot forward.
After you have nailed the hole, take the hammer off the nail. You can then remove the rest of the nails using a prybar or a screwdriver. Keep the nail heads parallel to the board's surfaces in order to avoid splitting wood.
