The question "How do you anchor an anchor?" is ambiguous. It could refer to either:
- How to secure a nautical anchor to the seabed.
- How to install a drywall anchor into a wall.
Let's address both interpretations.
Anchoring a Nautical Anchor (Seabed)
This involves using the anchor itself to secure a vessel to the seabed. This is not covered in the provided reference.
Anchoring a Drywall Anchor (Wall)
This involves using a drywall anchor to secure an object to a wall. The reference describes one way to install a wall anchor. Here's a breakdown:
- Identify the Location: Determine where you want to place the anchor.
- Prepare the Anchor: Get your wall anchor ready.
- Position and Apply Force: Place the tip of the anchor on the marked spot on the wall. Exert some force on the back of the anchor.
- Screw In: While applying force, screw the anchor into the wall clockwise (righty-tighty).
Essentially, you are screwing the anchor into the drywall until it is firmly embedded. This provides a secure point for hanging items. The How to Install Drywall Anchors. My Favourite Anchor! video referenced demonstrates this process.
