How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. We'll use the "pocket hole joint," which means we drill holes in the wood and then glue them together. This works well if the wood is straight and smooth. Try dowel joinery instead if your wood doesn't look straight. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your pocket hole joint. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
-
Sand Smooth. The wood's edges can be sanded to prevent splitting.
-
Glue Together. Apply glue to the sides of both wood. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Connect the pieces. After the glue has dried completely, you can clamp the pieces together until 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.
