How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces wood together. 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. Dowel joinery might be a better option if your wood is not 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. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
-
Sand Smooth. You can sand the edges of the wood to ensure that it doesn't split.
-
Glue the two sides of the wood together. Apply glue to both ends of the wood. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Attach the Pieces together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. Trimming the joinery after glue has completely dried.
To be able to turn the pieces inside-out, leave enough room between them.
