How To

How to make wood joints

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 is straight and flat, this method will work well. If your wood isn't straight or flat, you might want to try another method, such as dowel joinery. These are the steps

  1. 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.
  2. Sand Smooth. You can sand the edges of the wood to ensure that it doesn't split.
  3. Glue Together Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
  4. Secure the pieces together. After the glue has dried completely, you can clamp the pieces together until they are flush.
  5. Trim Joinery. After the glue dries completely, trim off any excess wood around the joint.

To be able to turn the pieces inside-out, leave enough room between them.
