How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. We will use the pocket hole joint, which is drilling holes in the wood to join them. This method is great if your wood's straight and smooth. Dowel joinery might be a better option if your wood is not straight or flat. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Start by measuring and marking the spot where the pocket hole joint will be placed. 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 edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue the two sides of the wood together. Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Allow the wood to rest for five minutes before clamping it together.
-
Clamp the Pieces Together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries, trim any excess wood around your joint.
Be sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can be turned inside-out.
