How To
How to join wooden boards without using nails
Woodworking is a popular hobby. Woodworking is a relaxing hobby that allows you to use your hands to create useful things from wood. Sometimes you may want to join two pieces together of wood without using nails. This article will help you to maintain the beauty of your woodwork projects.
First, remove any sharp edges from the wood pieces before you join them. Avoid leaving sharp edges that could lead to problems later. Now you can start gluing the boards together.
If you are working on hardwood, you should only use glue on one side. For softwoods like cedar and pine, glue should be applied to both sides. Apply the glue to the boards and press them down until they are securely attached. Before you proceed to the next step, be sure to let the glue dry completely.
Once you've glued your boards together you will need to drill holes in the joints to accommodate screws. Depending on the type of screw that you use, the size of these holes will vary. For example, if your screw is a 1/2-inch wooden screw, drill a hole that is at minimum 3/4 inches deep.
Once you have drilled your holes you will need to drive the screws through each joint and into the backside. You should be careful not to touch the board's front surface. This could cause damage. When driving the screws, try to avoid hitting the ends of the screws too much. This will prevent splitting in the end grain of the wood.
You'll need to protect your completed project from the elements. You can either seal the entire piece of furniture or 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 are available at most home improvement stores. It is important to ensure that you purchase the correct product for the job. Also, remember that some finishes are toxic and should never be used indoors. When handling certain finishes, wear protective gear.
