How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. If your wood is straight and flat, this method will work well. Try dowel joinery instead if your wood doesn't look straight. These 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 Together Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Attach the Pieces together. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries, trim any excess wood around your joint.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
