How To
How to join hardwood without using nails
Woodworking is a favorite hobby. Woodworking can be a fun hobby because you can work with your hands to make useful objects from wood. You might want to join two pieces from the same wood, but you don't need to use nails. This article will explain how to do this so that your woodwork projects stay beautiful.
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. Now it's time to start glueing your boards together.
If you are working with hardwood, only one side should be glue. Use glue on both the sides for softwoods, such as cedar or pine. Once the glue has dried, press the boards together until they are fully adhered. Before moving onto the next step, make sure the glue has dried completely.
After you glue your boards together, drill holes at the joints where screws will be inserted. You can choose the type of screw to determine the size of your holes. For example, if you intend to use 1/2-inch wood screws, you need to drill a hole that is at most 3/4 inches deep.
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. Be careful not to drive the screws too hard at the ends. This will help prevent splitting of the end grain.
Now that your project is finished, you'll want to protect it from the elements. You have two options: seal the whole furniture piece or just the top. It doesn't matter what method you use, you want something that will last many years. Oil-based varnishes are, among others, polyurethanes shellac, laquer, and other oil-based products.
These products can generally be found in any home improvement shop. You should make sure you are getting the right type for the job. Also, remember that some finishes are toxic and should never be used indoors. Wear protective gear whenever you are handling them.
