How To
How to join hardwood without using nails
Woodworking is a favorite hobby. It is relaxing and enjoyable because you can create something useful with wood. You may need to join two pieces without the use of nails. This article will demonstrate how to do so to preserve the beauty of your woodwork.
You will first need to trim the edges of your wood pieces before joining them. You don't want any sharp corners to cause problems later. Once you have done that, you can begin gluing your boards together.
If you're working with hardwood, you should only apply glue to one side. If you are using softwoods such pine or cedar, glue should only be applied to one side. Press the boards down until the glue is fully incorporated. After applying the glue, let dry the boards before proceeding to the next stage.
Once you've glued your boards together you will need to drill holes in the joints to accommodate screws. Depending on what type screw you choose, the size of these holes will depend on how big they are. For example, if your screw is a 1/2-inch wooden screw, drill a hole that is at minimum 3/4 inches deep.
Once you've drilled your holes, you'll want to drive the screws through the joint and into the backside of the board. You should be careful not to touch the board's front surface. This could cause damage. Be careful not to drive the screws too hard at the ends. This will prevent splitting in the end grain of the wood.
After your project is completed, you will need to protect it from the weather. You can either seal the entire piece of furniture or cover the top. You'll want a product that lasts for many years. Some examples include oil-based varnishes, polyurethane, shellac, lacquer, etc.
These products can usually be found at any home improvement store. Just make sure that you buy the right kind for the job. Also, remember that some finishes are toxic and should never be used indoors. So, always wear protective gear when handling them.
