How To

How to make wood joints

This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces wood together. We will use the pocket hole joint, which is drilling holes in the wood to join them. 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

  1. Drill Pocket Hole Joints. To start, measure and mark where you want to put the pocket hole joint. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
  2. Sand Smooth. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
  3. Glue both sides together. Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.
  4. Clamp the Pieces Together. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so they are flush.
  5. Trim Joinery. After the glue dries, trim any excess wood around your joint.

To be able to turn the pieces inside-out, leave enough room between them.
