How To
How to join wood with no nails
Woodworking is a hobby that many people enjoy doing. It is relaxing and enjoyable because you can create something useful with wood. However, there are times when you want to join two pieces of wood together without having to use nails. This article will teach you how to do this to keep your woodwork projects looking great.
Before joining the pieces of wood together, you will need to first trim any edges. Sharp corners can cause problems down the line. Once you've done this, you're ready to start gluing your boards together.
If you are working with hardwood, only one side should be glue. Use glue on both the sides for softwoods, such as cedar or pine. Once the glue has dried, press the boards together until they are fully adhered. Before you proceed to the next step, be sure to let the glue dry completely.
After you glue your boards together, drill holes at the joints where screws will be inserted. Depending on the type of screw that you use, the size of these holes will vary. For example, if your screw is a 1/2-inch wooden screw, drill a hole that is at minimum 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. Be careful not to hit the front surface of the board, or else you'll ruin the finish. Try to not hit the ends of the screws when driving the screws. This will help prevent splitting of the end grain.
After your project is completed, you will need to protect it from the weather. You have two options: seal the whole furniture piece or just the top. Either way, you'll want to use a product that will last for years to come. You can choose from oil-based varnishes or polyurethane, shellac and lacquer as examples.
You can find these products at most home improvement stores. Be sure to choose the right one for your project. Don't forget to keep in mind that some finishes are toxic. Wear protective gear whenever you are handling them.
