How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show you how to join two pieces of wood together. We will use the pocket hole joint, which is drilling holes in the wood to join them. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. Try dowel joinery instead if your wood doesn't look straight. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. First, measure the area where you wish to place the pocket joint. You will then drill 3/4" deep holes through each piece of wood with a jigsaw, handheld drilling machine, or hand-held drill.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will help ensure that the joint won't split later.
-
Glue together. Apply glue to both ends of the wood. Allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes before you clamp the pieces together.
-
Clamp the Pieces Together. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
To be able to turn the pieces inside-out, leave enough room between them.
