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. There are many types of hammers that you will find: claw hammers and sledgehammers; mallets; ball peen hammers; and hatchets. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses. A clawhammer works best when hitting something hard like nails. However, it can sometimes be difficult to see exactly where the strike is going. A sledgehammer is great for hitting large areas at once, but it's too heavy to use effectively for smaller tasks.

Place your hand flat on the side of your chosen hammer so that the handle rests in your palm. Hold the handle in your hand, but don’t force it too hard that you break. Keep your wrist relaxed and the hammer straight up. Next, swing the hammer toward the ground and aim for the nail's center. 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. The nail should be perpendicular to wood's surface. Keep your eyes focused directly on the tip of the nail. Then, swing the hammer forward. Next, follow the motion of your hammerhead. Continue this motion several times, slowly increasing the speed of each swing. Once you've mastered the technique, try adding power to your swings. You can hold the hammer over your shoulder and forcefully bring it down. This will help you put more energy behind each of your moves.

Once you have successfully drilled the first hole in the nail, remove 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.
