How To

How to make wood joint

This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces wood together. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. This works well if the wood is straight and smooth. If your wood isn't straight or flat, you might want to try another method, such as dowel joinery. Here are the steps

  1. Drill Pocket Hole Joints. To start, measure and mark where you want to put the pocket hole joint. Then drill 3/4 inch deep holes into the ends of each piece of wood using a jig saw or handheld drilling machine.
  2. Sand Smooth. You can sand the edges of the wood to ensure that it doesn't split.
  3. Glue together. Apply glue to both the ends of the wood. Allow the wood to rest for five minutes before clamping it together.
  4. Clamp the Pieces Together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
  5. Trim Joinery. Trim any excess wood surrounding the joint once the glue has dried completely.

To be able to turn the pieces inside-out, leave enough room between them.
