How To
How to join hardwood without using nails
Woodworking is a favorite hobby. It's fun and relaxing because you can use your hands to make something useful from wood. However, there are times when you want to join two pieces of wood together without having to use nails. This article will demonstrate how to do so to preserve the beauty of your woodwork.
You will first need to trim the edges of your wood pieces before joining them. Avoid leaving sharp edges that could lead to problems later. Now you can start gluing the boards together.
When working with hardwood, glue should be applied only to one side. Use glue on both the sides for softwoods, such as cedar or pine. Once the glue has dried, press the boards together until they are fully adhered. Before you proceed to the next step, be sure to let the glue dry completely.
After you glue your boards together, drill holes at the joints where screws will be inserted. You can choose the type of screw to determine the size of your holes. If you plan to use a 1/2 inch wood screw, drill a hole at least 3/4 inches in depth.
After drilling the holes, you can drive the screws into your board's backside. Do not hit the boards' front surfaces. It will ruin the finish. Be careful not to drive the screws too hard at the ends. This will help prevent splitting of the end grain.
After your project is completed, you will need to protect it from the weather. You have two options: seal the whole furniture piece or just the top. It doesn't matter what method you use, you want something that will last many years. Examples include oil-based varnishes and polyurethanes, shellac, lacquer and others.
These products can be found in most home improvement shops. Just make sure that you buy the right kind for the job. Keep in mind that certain finishes can be toxic and should not be used indoors. Protective gear should always be worn when handling these finishes.
