How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show how to join 2 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 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 ensure that the joint doesn't split.
-
Glue together. Apply glue to both sides of the wood. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.
-
Fix the Pieces together. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trimming the joinery after glue has completely dried.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
