How To
How to make wood joint
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. We will be using the "pocket-hole joint", which involves drilling holes in wood and then gluing them together. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. 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. You will then drill 3/4" deep holes through each piece of wood with a jigsaw, handheld drilling machine, or hand-held drill.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will help ensure that the joint won't split later.
-
Glue the two sides of the wood together. Apply glue to the sides of both wood. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Secure the pieces together. After the glue has dried properly, clamp the pieces together to make sure they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries, trim any excess wood around your joint.
Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
