How To
How to make wood joint
This tutorial will show you how to join two pieces of wood together. We will use the "pockethole joint," which means that we drill holes in the wooden pieces and then glue them together. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. Dowel joinery might be a better option if your wood is not straight or flat. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. To start, measure and mark where you want to put 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.
-
Sand Smooth. The wood's edges can be sanded to prevent splitting.
-
Glue together. Apply glue to the sides of both wood. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Fix the Pieces together. After the glue has dried thoroughly, secure the pieces so that they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries completely, trim off any excess wood around the joint.
You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
