How To
How to join wood with no 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 explain how to do this so that your woodwork projects stay beautiful.
The first thing you'll need to do is cut off any rough edges from your pieces of wood before joining them together. Do not leave any sharp corners as they could cause problems down in the future. Once you've done this, you're ready to start gluing your boards together.
If you are working with hardwood, only one side should be glue. For softwoods like cedar and pine, glue should be applied to both sides. After applying the glue, press the boards firmly until they are completely stuck together. Make sure you let the glue dry before moving on to the next step.
After you have glued your boards, drill holes where you want to insert screws. You can choose the type of screw to determine the size of your holes. For example, if you're going to use a 1/2-inch wood screw, then you should drill a hole that is at least 3/4 inches deep.
Once you have drilled your holes you will need to drive the screws through each joint and into the backside. Be careful not to hit the front surface of the board, or else you'll ruin the finish. Avoid hitting the screws' ends too often when driving screws. This will prevent splitting in the end grain of the wood.
Once your project is complete, it's time to protect it against the elements. You have two options: seal the whole furniture piece or just the top. Either way, you'll want to use a product that will last for years to come. Some examples include oil-based varnishes, polyurethane, shellac, lacquer, etc.
These products can be found in most home improvement shops. It is important to ensure that you purchase the correct product for the job. Don't forget to keep in mind that some finishes are toxic. When handling certain finishes, wear protective gear.
