How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show how to join 2 pieces of wood together. We'll use the "pocket hole joint," which means we drill holes in the wood and then glue them together. This method is great if your wood's straight and smooth. You may want to consider other methods, such as dowel joining. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your pocket hole joint. Use a jigsaw or handheld drilling machine to drill 3/8 inch deep holes at the ends of each wood piece.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will help ensure that the joint won't split later.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue to both ends of the wood. Allow the wood to rest for five minutes before clamping it together.
-
Clamp the Pieces Together. After the glue has dried completely, you can clamp the pieces together until they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries, trim any excess wood around your joint.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
