How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show how to join 2 pieces of wood together. We will use the pocket hole joint, which is drilling holes in the wood to join them. If your wood is straight and flat, this method will work well. You may want to consider other methods, such as dowel joining. These 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 edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue Together Apply glue to both sides of the wood. Allow the wood to rest for five minutes before clamping it together.
-
Clamp the Pieces Together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries completely, trim off any excess wood around the joint.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
