How to make wood joint
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. This method works great if your wood is straight and smooth. You might consider dowel joinery if your wood isn’t straight or flat. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. To start, measure and mark where you want to put the 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. The wood's edges can be sanded to prevent splitting.
-
Glue Together. Apply glue to both ends of the wood. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Clamp the Pieces Together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim any excess wood surrounding the joint once the glue has dried completely.
To be able to turn the pieces inside-out, leave enough room between them.
