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. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. You might consider dowel joinery if your wood isn’t straight or flat. These 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 wood's edges will ensure that the joint doesn't split.
-
Glue Together. Apply glue to both sides of the wood. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Clamp the Pieces Together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries completely, trim off any excess wood around the joint.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
