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. There are times when two pieces of wood need to be joined together. This article will help you to maintain the beauty of your woodwork projects.

Before you can join the wood pieces together, you need to remove any rough edges. 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. Press the boards down until the glue is fully incorporated. 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. Depending on what type screw you choose, the size of these holes will depend on how big they are. For example, if you intend to use 1/2-inch wood screws, you need to drill a hole that is at most 3/4 inches deep.

After drilling your holes, drive the screws into the board's backside. Do not hit the boards' front surfaces. It will ruin the finish. Be careful not to drive the screws too hard at the ends. This will help prevent splitting of the end grain.

Now that your project is finished, you'll want to protect it from the elements. You can seal the furniture pieces or cover the top. It doesn't matter what method you use, you want something that will last many years. Examples include oil-based varnishes and polyurethanes, shellac, lacquer and others.

These products can be found in most home improvement shops. You should make sure you are getting the right type for the job. Also, remember that some finishes are toxic and should never be used indoors. So, always wear protective gear when handling them.
