How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces wood together. We will use the "pockethole joint," which means that we drill holes in the wooden pieces and then glue them together. If your wood is straight and flat, this method will work well. You may want to consider other methods, such as dowel joining. 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 the sides of both wood. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Connect the pieces. 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.
You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
