How To
How to make wood 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. If your wood is straight and flat, this method will work well. 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. First, measure the area where you wish to place the pocket 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 wood's edges will help ensure that the joint won't split later.
-
Glue Together. Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Fix the Pieces together. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so 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.
