How To
How to make wooden joints
This tutorial will show how to join 2 pieces of wood together. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. If your wood is straight and flat, this method will work well. You might consider dowel joinery if your wood isn’t straight or flat. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. First, measure the area where you wish to place the pocket joint. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will ensure that the joint doesn't split.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue to both ends of the wood. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Secure the pieces together. After the glue has dried thoroughly, secure the pieces so that they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trimming the joinery after glue has completely dried.
Be sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can be turned inside-out.
