How To
How to make wooden joints
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. We will use the pocket hole joint, which is drilling holes in the wood to join them. This method is great if your wood's straight and smooth. You may want to consider other methods, such as dowel joining. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. First, measure the area where you wish to place the pocket joint. Then drill 3/4 inch deep holes into the ends of each piece of wood using a jig saw or handheld drilling machine.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will ensure that the joint doesn't split.
-
Glue Together. Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Fix the Pieces together. After the glue has dried properly, clamp the pieces together to make sure they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries, trim any excess wood around your joint.
To be able to turn the pieces inside-out, leave enough room between them.
