How To
How to make wooden joints
This tutorial will show you how to join two pieces of wood together. 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. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your pocket hole joint. With a handheld drill machine or jig saw, drill 3/4-inch deep holes in the ends of each piece.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will help ensure that the joint won't split later.
-
Glue together. Apply glue to the sides of both wood. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Connect the pieces. 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.
