How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show how to join 2 pieces of wood together. We'll use the "pocket hole joint," which means we drill holes in the wood and then glue 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. These 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 edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue the two sides of the wood together. Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Allow the wood to rest for five minutes before clamping it together.
-
Clamp 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.
