Add a new gnome to your world of gnomes

How To
How to make wood joint
This tutorial will show you how to join two pieces of wood together. We'll use the "pocket hole joint," which means we drill holes in the wood and then glue them together. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. If your wood isn't straight or flat, you might want to try another method, such as dowel joinery. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. First, measure the area where you wish to place the pocket joint. Then drill 3/4 inch deep holes into the ends of each piece of wood using a jig saw or handheld drilling machine.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will ensure that the joint doesn't split.
-
Glue the two sides of the wood together. Apply glue to the sides of both wood. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Secure the pieces together. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim any excess wood surrounding the joint once the glue has dried completely.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
