How To
How to make wooden joints
This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces wood together. We will be using the "pocket-hole joint", which involves drilling holes in wood and then gluing them together. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. You might consider dowel joinery if your wood isn’t straight or flat. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your pocket hole joint. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will ensure that the joint 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.
-
Attach 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.
To be able to turn the pieces inside-out, leave enough room between them.
