How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces wood together. We'll use the "pocket hole joint," which means we drill holes in the wood and then glue them together. This works well if the wood is straight and smooth. You may want to consider other methods, such as dowel joining. 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. The wood's edges can be sanded to prevent splitting.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue to both the ends of the wood. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Connect the pieces. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim any excess wood surrounding the joint once the glue has dried completely.
You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
