How To
How to make wooden joints
This tutorial will show you how to join two pieces of wood together. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. This method is great if your wood's straight and smooth. If your wood isn't straight or flat, you might want to try another method, such as dowel joinery. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Measure and mark the location where you would like to place the pocket hole joint. With a handheld drill machine or jig saw, drill 3/4-inch deep holes in the ends of each piece.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will ensure that the joint doesn't split.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue to both sides of the wood. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Clamp 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.
You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
