How To
How to make wooden joints
This tutorial will show how to join 2 pieces of wood together. We will be using the "pocket-hole joint", which involves drilling holes in wood and then gluing them together. This works well if the wood is straight and smooth. 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. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your pocket hole joint. You will then drill 3/4" deep holes through each piece of wood with a jigsaw, handheld drilling machine, or hand-held drill.
-
Sand Smooth. You can sand the edges of the wood to ensure that it doesn't split.
-
Glue Together Apply glue to both ends of the wood. Allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes before you clamp the pieces together.
-
Secure the pieces together. After the glue has dried completely, you can clamp the pieces together until they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
