How To
How to make wood joint
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. We'll use the "pocket hole joint," which means we drill holes in the wood and then glue them together. This works well if the wood is 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. 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. The wood's edges can be sanded to prevent splitting.
-
Glue Together Apply glue to the sides of both wood. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Secure the pieces together. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries completely, trim off any excess wood around the joint.
Be sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can be turned inside-out.
