How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show you how to join two pieces of wood together. We will be using the "pocket-hole joint", which involves drilling holes in wood and then gluing them together. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. Try dowel joinery instead if your wood doesn't look straight. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. First, measure the area where you wish to place the pocket joint. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
-
Sand Smooth. You can sand the edges of the wood to ensure that it doesn't split.
-
Glue the two sides of the wood together. Apply glue to both ends of the wood. Allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes before you clamp the pieces together.
-
Fix the Pieces together. After the glue has dried properly, clamp the pieces together to make sure they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries, trim any excess wood around your joint.
You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
