How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. We will be using the "pocket-hole joint", which involves drilling holes in wood and then gluing them together. This works well if the wood is straight and smooth. Try dowel joinery instead if your wood doesn't look straight. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your pocket hole joint. Then drill 3/4 inch deep holes into the ends of each piece of wood using a jig saw or handheld drilling machine.
-
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.
-
Connect the pieces. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
