How To
How to make wood joint
This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces wood together. 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. Dowel joinery might be a better option if your wood is not straight or flat. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. First, measure the area where you wish to place the pocket 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 Together. Apply glue to both sides of the wood. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Clamp the Pieces Together. After the glue has dried completely, you can clamp the pieces together until they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries completely, trim off any excess wood around the joint.
To be able to turn the pieces inside-out, leave enough room between them.
