How To
How to make wood joint
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. This method is great if your wood's straight and smooth. 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. 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. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue to the sides of both wood. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Secure the pieces together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries, trim any excess wood around your joint.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
