How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will help you join two pieces of wooden together. We will use the pocket hole joint, which is drilling holes in the wood to join them. This method is great if your wood's straight and smooth. You may want to consider other methods, such as dowel joining. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. First, measure the area where you wish to place the pocket joint. With a handheld drill machine or jig saw, drill 3/4-inch deep holes in the ends of each piece.
-
Sand Smooth. The wood's edges can be sanded to prevent splitting.
-
Glue the two sides of the wood together. Apply glue to both sides of the wood. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping 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.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
