How To
How to make wooden joints
This tutorial will show you how to join two pieces of wood together. We will use the "pockethole joint," which means that we drill holes in the wooden pieces and then glue them together. This method works great if your wood is straight and smooth. 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. With a handheld drill machine or jig saw, drill 3/4-inch deep holes in the ends of each piece.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue Together. Apply glue to the sides of both wood. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Connect the pieces. After the glue has dried thoroughly, secure the pieces so that they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries completely, trim off any excess wood around the joint.
You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
