How To
How to join wood with no nails
Woodworking is a favorite hobby. It is relaxing and enjoyable because you can create something useful with wood. There are times when two pieces of wood need to be joined together. This article will demonstrate how to do so to preserve the beauty of your woodwork.
Before you can join the wood pieces together, you need to remove any rough edges. You don't want any sharp corners to cause problems later. Now you can start gluing the boards together.
You should only glue one side of hardwood. Use glue on both the sides for softwoods, such as cedar or pine. After applying the glue, press the boards firmly until they are completely stuck together. Make sure you let the glue dry before moving on to the next step.
After you have glued the boards together, drill holes in the joints where you intend to place screws. These holes will differ depending on the type and size of screw you are using. If you are going to use a half-inch wood screw, you will need to drill at least 3/4 inch deep.
Once you have drilled your holes you will need to drive the screws through each joint and into the backside. Be careful not to hit the front surface of the board, or else you'll ruin the finish. Avoid hitting the screws' ends too often when driving screws. This will avoid splitting in the wood's ends grain.
You'll need to protect your completed project from the elements. You can either seal the entire piece of furniture or cover the top. You want it to last years, so you can use any product. You can choose from oil-based varnishes or polyurethane, shellac and lacquer as examples.
You can find these products at most home improvement stores. You should make sure you are getting the right type for the job. Don't forget to keep in mind that some finishes are toxic. Protective gear should always be worn when handling these finishes.
