How To
How to make wood joint
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. You may want to consider other methods, such as dowel joining. Here 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 wood's edges will help ensure that the joint won't split later.
-
Glue the two sides of the wood together. Apply glue to the sides of both wood. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.
-
Clamp the Pieces Together. After the glue has dried properly, clamp the pieces together to make sure they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim any excess wood surrounding the joint once the glue has dried completely.
You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
