How To
How to make wooden joints
This tutorial will show you how to join two pieces of wood together. We'll use the "pocket hole joint," which means we drill holes in the wood and then glue them together. If your wood is straight and flat, this method will work well. Dowel joinery might be a better option if your wood is not straight or flat. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. To start, measure and mark where you want to put the pocket hole joint. With a handheld drill machine or jig saw, drill 3/4-inch deep holes in the ends of each piece.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will ensure that the joint doesn't split.
-
Glue Together. Apply glue to both ends of the wood. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.
-
Attach the Pieces together. After the glue has dried completely, you can clamp the pieces together until they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim any excess wood surrounding the joint once the glue has dried completely.
Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
