How To

How to make wood joints

This tutorial will show you how to join two pieces of wood together. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. You may want to consider other methods, such as dowel joining. These are the steps

  1. Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Measure and mark the location where you would like to place the pocket hole joint. Then drill 3/4 inch deep holes into the ends of each piece of wood using a jig saw or handheld drilling machine.
  2. Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will ensure that the joint doesn't split.
  3. Glue both sides together. Apply glue to both ends of the wood. Allow the wood to rest for five minutes before clamping it together.
  4. Fix the Pieces together. After the glue has dried thoroughly, secure the pieces so that they are flush.
  5. Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.

You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
