How To
How to make wood joint
This tutorial will show how to join 2 pieces of wood together. We will be using the "pocket-hole joint", which involves drilling holes in wood and then gluing 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. Measure and mark the location where you would like to place the pocket hole joint. Use a jigsaw or handheld drilling machine to drill 3/8 inch deep holes at the ends of each wood piece.
-
Sand Smooth. You can sand the edges of the wood to ensure that it doesn't split.
-
Glue Together. Apply glue to the sides of both wood. Allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes before you clamp the pieces together.
-
Secure the pieces together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
