How To
How to make wood joint
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. We will be using the "pocket-hole joint", which involves drilling holes in wood and then gluing them together. This works well if the wood is straight and smooth. You might consider dowel joinery if your wood isn’t 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. The wood's edges can be sanded to prevent splitting.
-
Glue Together Apply glue to both the ends of the wood. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Clamp the Pieces Together. After the glue has dried properly, clamp the pieces together to make sure they are flush.
-
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.
