How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. We will use the pocket hole joint, which is drilling holes in the wood to join them. If your wood is straight and flat, this method will work well. 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. Measure and mark the location where you would like to place the 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 both the ends of the wood. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Fix the Pieces together. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
