How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show how to join 2 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. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your pocket hole joint. Use a jigsaw or handheld drilling machine to drill 3/8 inch deep holes at the ends of each wood piece.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue the two sides of the wood together. Apply glue to the sides of both wood. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Connect the pieces. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
