Yeah, I get my best friend to hold the nail while I hammer! Lol. I used to play around in my dad's workshop and there were many times Dad found blood on his workbench after my explorations. I didn't want anyone to know I had limitations! I do better with smaller hammers because of the size of my hands and because I tend to hold the hammer fairly close to the pounding part and my other hand closer to what I want to pound the nail into. Just my own style.but it seems to work if I can just get the silly things in straight!

Ok so when i was little i used to mess around with hammering nails in and such but i was wondering how do you guys do it? Like if im just trying to hammer a nail in to a board with a hammer do i hold the nail with my fingers and try to aim for the nail with the hamer? That allot of times will end up being my thumb under the hammer rather than the nail haha. So does your aim just get better with practis or do you have something you can put the nail in to hold it so you wont have to use your fingrs? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
