How to make wooden joints
This tutorial will show how to join 2 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 might consider dowel joinery if your wood isn’t straight or flat. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your 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 edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue Together Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes before you clamp the pieces together.

Attach the Pieces together. After the glue has dried completely, you can clamp the pieces together until they are flush.

Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
