How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show you how to join two pieces of wood together. We'll use the "pocket hole joint," which means we drill holes in the wood and then glue them together. This works well if the wood is straight and smooth. If your wood isn't straight or flat, you might want to try another method, such as dowel joinery. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. To start, measure and mark where you want to put the pocket hole joint. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue Together. Apply glue to both sides of the wood. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Attach the Pieces together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim any excess wood surrounding the joint once the glue has dried completely.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
