How To
How to join two pieces of wood together without nails
Woodworking is a hobby that many people enjoy doing. You can make useful items from wood with your hands, which is both relaxing and fun. You might want to join two pieces from the same wood, but you don't need to use nails. This article will explain how to do this so that your woodwork projects stay beautiful.
Before you can join the wood pieces together, you need to remove any rough edges. Sharp corners can cause problems down the line. Now you can start gluing the boards together.
If you are working on hardwood, you should only use glue on one side. If you are using softwoods such pine or cedar, glue should only be applied to one side. Press the boards down until the glue is fully incorporated. Before you proceed to the next step, be sure to let the glue dry completely.
After you have glued your boards, drill holes where you want to insert screws. Depending on the type of screw that you use, the size of these holes will vary. If you are going to use a half-inch wood screw, you will need to drill at least 3/4 inch deep.
After drilling the holes, you can drive the screws into your board's backside. Be careful not to hit the front surface of the board, or else you'll ruin the finish. Be careful not to drive the screws too hard at the ends. This will prevent the wood from splitting.
Now that your project is finished, you'll want to protect it from the elements. You can either seal the entire piece of furniture or cover the top. You will want to choose a product that will be durable for many years. Oil-based varnishes are, among others, polyurethanes shellac, laquer, and other oil-based products.
These products are available at most home improvement stores. Just make sure that you buy the right kind for the job. Don't forget to keep in mind that some finishes are toxic. Always wear protective gear when handling any of these finishes.
