untidy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'disordered hammering' is the definition.
'untidy' can be an answer for 'disordered' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not sure about the 'hammering' bit.

'of diy nut' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates anagramming the letters (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'diy'+'nut'='diynut'
'diynut' with letters rearranged gives 'UNTIDY'.

Can you help me to learn more?
