i am totally blind and just wack the thing it comes with practis. get the nail started your brain is used to seeing a picture so drive the nail home with the hammer not your eyes. you will bend some no doubtbut just keep going and teyey will go in eventually don't be timid just know your going to drive that thing in. i have driven in some macenary nails in concrete and they bounce or rather the hammer does when you hit a tence nail as the macenary nails are. have fun and just hit the thing. joe. ----- Original Message ----- From: tunecollector To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, February 26, 2007 9:03 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] protect your language and clean up your thumb
When I had sight, I could hit the nail with sufficient accuracy and force. Because I could hit the nail with enough force, I could move my hand out of the way after the first blow. Now I am more timid with my hammering so my hand has to hold the nail longer. What used to take three or four strikes, now take sixteen. The accuracy is still the same but the anxiety is greater.
