How To

How to join two pieces of wood together without nails

Woodworking is an enjoyable hobby. You can make useful items from wood with your hands, which is both relaxing and fun. However, there are times when you want to join two pieces of wood together without having to use nails. This article will show you how to do it to make your woodwork projects look great.

First, remove any sharp edges from the wood pieces before you join them. You don't want to leave sharp corners that could cause problems later on down the road. After you have completed this step, you are ready to glue your boards together.

You should only glue one side of hardwood. For softwoods like cedar and pine, glue should be applied to both sides. Apply the glue to the boards and press them down until they are securely attached. Make sure you let the glue dry before moving on to the next step.

After you have glued the boards together, drill holes in the joints where you intend to place screws. The size of these holes depends on what type of screw you choose to use. For example, if you're going to use a 1/2-inch wood screw, then you should drill a hole that is at least 3/4 inches deep.

Once you have drilled your holes you will need to drive the screws through each joint and into the backside. You should be careful not to touch the board's front surface. This could cause damage. When driving the screws, try to avoid hitting the ends of the screws too much. This will prevent splitting the wood's end grain.

After your project is completed, you will need to protect it from the weather. You can seal the furniture pieces or cover the top. You'll want a product that lasts for many years. Examples include oil-based varnishes and polyurethanes, shellac, lacquer and others.

You can find these products at most home improvement stores. Just make sure that you buy the right kind for the job. Some finishes are toxic and should not ever be used indoors. When handling certain finishes, wear protective gear.
