How To
How to make wooden joints
This tutorial will help you join two pieces of wooden together. We will use the "pockethole joint," which means that we drill holes in the wooden pieces and then glue them together. This method is great if your wood's straight and smooth. You may want to consider other methods, such as dowel joining. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. First, measure the area where you wish to place the pocket joint. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue together. Apply glue to the sides of both wood. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.
-
Fix the Pieces together. After the glue has dried completely, you can clamp the pieces together until they are flush.
-
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.
