How To
How to join wood without using nails
Many people love woodworking. You can make useful items from wood with your hands, which is both relaxing and fun. You may need to join two pieces without the use of nails. This article will show you how to do it to make your woodwork projects look great.
You will first need to trim the edges of your wood pieces before joining them. Do not leave any sharp corners as they could cause problems down in the future. Once you've done this, you're ready to start gluing 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 you have applied the glue, press down on the boards until they are fully attached. Before moving onto the next step, make sure the glue has dried completely.
Once you've glued your boards together you will need to drill holes in the joints to accommodate screws. The size of these holes depends on what type of screw you choose to use. For example, if you're going to use a 1/2-inch wood screw, then you should drill a hole that is at least 3/4 inches deep.
Once you have drilled the holes, the next step is to drive your screws through the joint into the board's backside. Don't hit the board's surface. You could damage the finish. Be careful not to drive the screws too hard at the ends. This will help prevent splitting of the end grain.
After your project is completed, you will need to protect it from the weather. You have two options: seal the whole furniture piece or just the top. Either way, you'll want to use a product that will last for years to come. There are many options: oil-based varnishes; polyurethane; shellac; lacquer.
These products can generally be found in any home improvement shop. It is important to ensure that you purchase the correct product for the job. Keep in mind that certain finishes can be toxic and should not be used indoors. Wear protective gear whenever you are handling them.
