How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. We will use the "pockethole joint," which means that we drill holes in the wooden pieces and then glue them together. This works well if the wood is straight and smooth. 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. With a handheld drill machine or jig saw, drill 3/4-inch deep holes in the ends of each piece.
-
Sand Smooth. The wood's edges can be sanded to prevent splitting.
-
Glue Together. Apply glue to the sides of both wood. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.
-
Attach the Pieces together. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim any excess wood surrounding the joint once the glue has dried completely.
Be sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can be turned inside-out.
