How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces 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. Dowel joinery might be a better option if your wood is not straight or flat. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. To start, measure and mark where you want to put the pocket hole joint. Use a jigsaw or handheld drilling machine to drill 3/8 inch deep holes at the ends of each wood piece.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue together. Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes before you clamp the pieces together.
-
Connect the pieces. After the glue has dried completely, you can clamp the pieces together until they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trimming the joinery after glue has completely dried.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
