How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show how to join 2 pieces of wood together. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. This works well if the wood is straight and smooth. You might consider dowel joinery if your wood isn’t straight or flat. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your pocket hole joint. You will then drill 3/4" deep holes through each piece of wood with a jigsaw, handheld drilling machine, or hand-held drill.
-
Sand Smooth. The wood's edges can be sanded to prevent splitting.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue to both sides of the wood. Allow the wood to rest for five minutes before clamping it together.
-
Fix the Pieces together. After the glue has dried thoroughly, secure the pieces so that they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim any excess wood surrounding the joint once the glue has dried completely.
You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
