How to make wood joint
This tutorial will show you how to join two pieces of 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. 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. With a handheld drill machine or jig saw, drill 3/4-inch deep holes in the ends of each piece.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue Together Apply glue to both ends of the wood. Allow the wood to rest for five minutes before clamping it together.
-
Secure the pieces together. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries completely, trim off any excess wood around the joint.
You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
