How to Use A Hammer

A hammer is a very important tool in DT, as you will use it to hammer in and remove nails from wood. The following is a video on how to use a hammer:

To hammer in a nail, you must first tap lightly into the wood using the hammer to make sure it is in place. Then hit the nail into the wood using the hammer, making sure you do not hit your hands. Continue until the nail is completely hammered into the wood. To remove a nail, use the back end of the hammer to pry the nail loose. A helpful tip when removing nails, is that if a nail is too far in to pry loose, just hammer it in all the way to get it out of the way and continue working.
