How to join hardwood without using nails
Many people love woodworking. You can make useful items from wood with your hands, which is both relaxing and fun. Sometimes you may want to join two pieces together of wood without using nails. This article will teach you how to do this to keep your woodwork projects looking great.
Before you can join the wood pieces together, you need to remove any rough edges. Sharp corners can cause problems down the line. Now it's time to start glueing your boards together.
You should only glue one side of hardwood. Use glue on both the sides for softwoods, such as cedar or pine. Once the glue has dried, press the boards together until they are fully adhered. Before moving onto the next step, make sure the glue has dried completely.
After you have glued the boards together, drill holes in the joints where you intend to place screws. You can choose the type of screw to determine the size of your holes. If you are going to use a half-inch wood screw, you will need to drill at least 3/4 inch deep.
After drilling the holes, you can drive the screws into your board's backside. Don't hit the board's surface. You could damage the finish. Be careful not to drive the screws too hard at the ends. This will avoid splitting in the wood's ends grain.
Protect your finished project now. You can either seal the entire piece of furniture or cover the top. You will want to choose a product that will be durable for many years. There are many options: oil-based varnishes; polyurethane; shellac; lacquer.
You can find these products at most home improvement stores. Just make sure that you buy the right kind for the job. Also, remember that some finishes are toxic and should never be used indoors. Wear protective gear whenever you are handling them.
