How To
How to join wood without using nails
Woodworking is a hobby that many people enjoy doing. You can make useful items from wood with your hands, which is both relaxing and fun. You may need to join two pieces without the use of nails. This article will explain how to do this so that your woodwork projects stay beautiful.
Before joining the pieces of wood together, you will need to first trim any edges. You don't want any sharp corners to cause problems later. After you have completed this step, you are ready to glue your boards together.
When working with hardwood, glue should be applied only to one side. You should glue both sides if you are working with softwoods such as pine and cedar. Once you have applied the glue, press down on the boards until they are fully attached. Be sure to let the glue dry before you move on to the next step.
After you have glued your boards, drill holes where you want to insert screws. These holes will differ depending on the type and size of screw you are using. For example, if you intend to use 1/2-inch wood screws, you need to drill a hole that is at most 3/4 inches deep.
Once you've drilled your holes, you'll want to drive the screws through the joint and into the backside of the board. Don't hit the board's surface. You could damage the finish. When driving the screws, try to avoid hitting the ends of the screws too much. This will prevent splitting the wood's end grain.
Once your project is complete, it's time to protect it against the elements. You can either cover the entire furniture or just the top. Either way, you'll want to use a product that will last for years to come. Oil-based varnishes are, among others, polyurethanes shellac, laquer, and other oil-based products.
These products can generally be found in any home improvement shop. Make sure you get the right product for your job. Keep in mind that certain finishes can be toxic and should not be used indoors. Always wear protective gear when handling any of these finishes.
