How To
How to join hardwood without using nails
Woodworking is an enjoyable hobby. It is relaxing and enjoyable because you can create something useful with wood. You may need to join two pieces without the use of nails. This article will help you to maintain the beauty of your woodwork projects.
Before joining the pieces of wood together, you will need to first trim any edges. Do not leave any sharp corners as they could cause problems down in the future. Now it's time to start glueing your boards together.
If you are working on hardwood, you should only use glue on one side. If you're using softwoods like pine or cedar, you should put glue on both sides. Once the glue has dried, press the boards together until they are fully adhered. Make sure you let the glue dry before moving on to the next step.
After you have glued your boards, drill holes where you want to insert screws. These holes will differ depending on the type and size of screw you are using. If you are going to use a half-inch wood screw, you will need to drill at least 3/4 inch deep.
After drilling your holes, drive the screws into the board's backside. Avoid hitting the board's top surface. Otherwise, you could ruin the finish. Avoid hitting the screws' ends too often when driving screws. This will avoid splitting in the wood's ends grain.
After your project is completed, you will need to protect it from the weather. You can either seal the entire piece of furniture or cover the top. You will want to choose a product that will be durable for many years. You can choose from oil-based varnishes or polyurethane, shellac and lacquer as examples.
These products can be found in most home improvement shops. It is important to ensure that you purchase the correct product for the job. Remember that some finishes can be toxic, so you should not use them indoors. When handling certain finishes, wear protective gear.
