How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show how to join 2 pieces of wood together. We will use the pocket hole joint, which is drilling holes in the wood to join them. This works well if the wood is straight and smooth. Try dowel joinery instead if your wood doesn't look straight. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your 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 ensure that the joint doesn't split.
-
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. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
To be able to turn the pieces inside-out, leave enough room between them.
