How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces wood together. We will use the "pockethole joint," which means that we drill holes in the wooden pieces and then glue them together. This method is great if your wood's straight and smooth. If your wood isn't straight or flat, you might want to try another method, such as dowel joinery. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your pocket hole joint. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue Together. Apply glue to the sides of both wood. Allow the wood to rest for five minutes before clamping it together.
-
Fix the Pieces together. After the glue has dried properly, clamp the pieces together to make sure they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries completely, trim off any excess wood around the joint.
To be able to turn the pieces inside-out, leave enough room between them.
