How To
How to join wood with no nails
Woodworking is a hobby that many people enjoy doing. Woodworking is a relaxing hobby that allows you to use your hands to create useful things from wood. However, there are times when you want to join two pieces of wood together without having to use nails. This article will teach you how to do this to keep your woodwork projects looking great.
The first thing you'll need to do is cut off any rough edges from your pieces of wood before joining them together. Sharp corners can cause problems down the line. Now it's time to start glueing your boards together.
If you are working with hardwood, only one side should be glue. Use glue on both the sides for softwoods, such as cedar or pine. Press the boards down until the glue is fully incorporated. Be sure to let the glue dry before you move on to the next step.
Once you've glued your boards together you will need to drill holes in the joints to accommodate screws. You can choose the type of screw to determine the size of your holes. If you are going to use a half-inch wood screw, you will need to drill at least 3/4 inch deep.
After drilling your holes, drive the screws into the board's backside. Avoid hitting the board's top surface. Otherwise, you could ruin the finish. Don't drive the screws too far into the end. This will prevent splitting in the end grain of the wood.
You'll need to protect your completed project from the elements. To do this, you can seal the entire furniture piece or just cover the top. You want it to last years, so you can use any product. Examples include oil-based varnishes and polyurethanes, shellac, lacquer and others.
These products can usually be found at any home improvement store. Make sure you get the right product for your job. Some finishes are toxic and should not ever be used indoors. Wear protective gear whenever you are handling them.
