How To
How to join wooden boards without using nails
Woodworking is a hobby that many people enjoy doing. It is relaxing and enjoyable because you can create something useful with wood. There are times when two pieces of wood need to be joined together. This article will explain how to do this so that your woodwork projects stay beautiful.
First, remove any sharp edges from the wood pieces before you join them. Do not leave any sharp corners as they could cause problems down in the future. Now it's time to start glueing your boards together.
If you are working on hardwood, you should only use glue on one side. If you are using softwoods such pine or cedar, glue should only be applied to one side. Once you have applied the glue, press down on the boards until they are fully attached. Be sure to let the glue dry before you move on to the next step.
After you've glued your boards, you'll want to drill holes into the joints where you plan to insert screws. Depending on what type screw you choose, the size of these holes will depend on how big they are. If you plan to use a 1/2 inch wood screw, drill a hole at least 3/4 inches in depth.
Once you have drilled your holes you will need to drive the screws through each joint and into the backside. Be careful not to hit the front surface of the board, or else you'll ruin the finish. When driving the screws, try to avoid hitting the ends of the screws too much. This will prevent the wood from splitting.
Once your project is complete, it's time to protect it against the elements. You can either cover the entire furniture or just the top. Either way, you'll want to use a product that will last for years to come. Oil-based varnishes are, among others, polyurethanes shellac, laquer, and other oil-based products.
These products can usually be found at any home improvement store. Just make sure that you buy the right kind for the job. Keep in mind that certain finishes can be toxic and should not be used indoors. Protective gear should always be worn when handling these finishes.
