How to Successfully Remove a Nail Without Damaging Wood

How to successfully remove a nail from a delicate piece of wood without damaging the wood itself.

This really is pretty simple. All you need is a hammer to remove the nail obviously, your precious piece of wood, and a small scrap piece of 1/4in. plywood. Sorry about the pictures, my camera is broken so i gotta search for pics:D sorry!

Ok now put the the small piece of quarter inch plywood underneath the hammer and pull out the nail like you normally would

Like in the picture down below just put the quarter inch plywood under the hammer

Woo now you have damage-free wood. Great if you have a project that you can't mess up.
