How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces wood together. We'll use the "pocket hole joint," which means we drill holes in the wood and then glue them together. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. You might consider dowel joinery if your wood isn’t straight or flat. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Measure and mark the location where you would like to place 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 wood's edges will help ensure that the joint won't split later.
-
Glue Together. Apply glue to the sides of both wood. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Attach the Pieces together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries, trim any excess wood around your joint.
You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
