How To
How to make wooden joints
This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces wood together. We will use the pocket hole joint, which is drilling holes in the wood to join them. This works well if the wood is straight and smooth. You may want to consider other methods, such as dowel joining. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Measure and mark the location where you would like to place the pocket hole joint. With a handheld drill machine or jig saw, drill 3/4-inch deep holes in the ends of each piece.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will ensure that the joint doesn't split.
-
Glue the two sides of the wood together. Apply glue to both the ends of the wood. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Clamp the Pieces Together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. Trimming the joinery after glue has completely dried.
Be sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can be turned inside-out.
