How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will help you join two pieces of wooden together. We will use the pocket hole joint, which is drilling holes in the wood to join them. This method works great if your wood is straight and smooth. Dowel joinery might be a better option if your wood is not straight or flat. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Measure and mark the location where you would like to place the pocket hole joint. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
-
Sand Smooth. You can sand the edges of the wood to ensure that it doesn't split.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue to both the ends of the wood. Allow the wood to rest for five minutes before clamping it together.
-
Fix the Pieces together. After the glue has dried completely, you can clamp the pieces together until they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries, trim any excess wood around your joint.
To be able to turn the pieces inside-out, leave enough room between them.
