How To
How to join wood without using nails
Many people love woodworking. It is relaxing and enjoyable because you can create something useful with wood. Sometimes you may want to join two pieces together of wood without using nails. This article will demonstrate how to do so to preserve the beauty of your woodwork.
Before you can join the wood pieces together, you need to remove any rough edges. You don't want any sharp corners to cause problems later. Once you have done that, you can begin gluing your boards together.
You should only glue one side of hardwood. If you're using softwoods like pine or cedar, you should put glue on both sides. Press the boards down until the glue is fully incorporated. Before you proceed to the next step, be sure to let the glue dry completely.
Once you've glued your boards together you will need to drill holes in the joints to accommodate screws. Depending on what type screw you choose, the size of these holes will depend on how big they are. If you are going to use a half-inch wood screw, you will need to drill at least 3/4 inch deep.
Once you've drilled your holes, you'll want to drive the screws through the joint and into the backside of the board. Be careful not to hit the front surface of the board, or else you'll ruin the finish. When driving the screws, try to avoid hitting the ends of the screws too much. This will prevent splitting in the end grain of the wood.
Now that your project is finished, you'll want to protect it from the elements. To do this, you can seal the entire furniture piece or just cover the top. It doesn't matter what method you use, you want something that will last many years. Oil-based varnishes are, among others, polyurethanes shellac, laquer, and other oil-based products.
You can find these products at most home improvement stores. It is important to ensure that you purchase the correct product for the job. Also, remember that some finishes are toxic and should never be used indoors. Protective gear should always be worn when handling these finishes.
