How To
How to make wooden joints
This tutorial will help you join two pieces of wooden together. We'll use the "pocket hole joint," which means we drill holes in the wood and then glue them together. If your wood is straight and flat, this method will work well. You might consider dowel joinery if your wood isn’t straight or flat. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. First, measure the area where you wish to place the pocket joint. Use a jigsaw or handheld drilling machine to drill 3/8 inch deep holes at the ends of each wood piece.
-
Sand Smooth. The wood's edges can be sanded to prevent splitting.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue to both ends of the wood. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Attach the Pieces together. After the glue has dried properly, clamp the pieces together to make sure they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trimming the joinery after glue has completely dried.
To be able to turn the pieces inside-out, leave enough room between them.
