How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces wood together. We'll use the "pocket hole joint," which means we drill holes in the wood and then glue them together. This method is great if your wood's straight and smooth. Dowel joinery might be a better option if your wood is not straight or flat. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. First, measure the area where you wish to place the pocket joint. Then drill 3/4 inch deep holes into the ends of each piece of wood using a jig saw or handheld drilling machine.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue to both sides of the wood. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.
-
Attach the Pieces together. After the glue has dried properly, clamp the pieces together to make sure 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.
