How To
How to make wooden 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 is straight and flat, this method will work well. 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. Use a jigsaw or handheld drilling machine to drill 3/8 inch deep holes at the ends of each wood piece.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue Together Apply glue to both the ends of the wood. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Attach the Pieces together. After the glue has dried thoroughly, secure the pieces so that they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries, trim any excess wood around your joint.
Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
