How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. We will use the "pockethole joint," which means that we drill holes in the wooden pieces and then glue them together. This method is great if your wood's straight and smooth. Try dowel joinery instead if your wood doesn't look straight. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Start by measuring and marking the spot where the pocket hole joint will be placed. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue to both ends of the wood. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.
-
Fix the Pieces together. After the glue has dried thoroughly, secure the pieces so that they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries completely, trim off any excess wood around the joint.
Be sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can be turned inside-out.
