How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. We will use the "pockethole joint," which means that we drill holes in the wooden pieces and then glue them together. This works well if the wood is straight and smooth. You may want to consider other methods, such as dowel joining. 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 both sides of the wood. Allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes before you clamp the pieces together.
-
Secure the pieces together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim any excess wood surrounding the joint once the glue has dried completely.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
