How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. We will be using the "pocket-hole joint", which involves drilling holes in wood and then gluing them together. This method is great if your wood's straight and smooth. Try dowel joinery instead if your wood doesn't look straight. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. To start, measure and mark where you want to put the 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 ensure that the joint doesn't split.
-
Glue Together Apply glue to both the ends of the wood. Allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes before you clamp the pieces together.
-
Fix the Pieces together. After the glue has dried thoroughly, secure the pieces so that they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
Be sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can be turned inside-out.
