How To
How to join wood with no nails
Many people love woodworking. You can make useful items from wood with your hands, which is both relaxing and fun. Sometimes you may want to join two pieces together of wood without using nails. This article will explain how to do this so that your woodwork projects stay beautiful.
Before joining the pieces of wood together, you will need to first trim any edges. You don't want any sharp corners to cause problems later. Now you can start gluing the boards together.
If you are working with hardwood, only one side should be glue. For softwoods like cedar and pine, glue should be applied to both sides. Once you have applied the glue, press down on the boards until they are fully attached. Make sure you let the glue dry before moving on to the next step.
After you have glued your boards, drill holes where you want to insert screws. Depending on what type screw you choose, the size of these holes will depend on how big they are. For example, if you're going to use a 1/2-inch wood screw, then you should drill a hole that is at least 3/4 inches deep.
After drilling your holes, drive the screws into the board's backside. Do not hit the boards' front surfaces. It will ruin the finish. Try to not hit the ends of the screws when driving the screws. This will prevent splitting in the end grain of the wood.
Once your project is complete, it's time to protect it against the elements. You have two options: seal the whole furniture piece or just the top. You want it to last years, so you can use any product. Examples include oil-based varnishes and polyurethanes, shellac, lacquer and others.
These products can usually be found at any home improvement store. Be sure to choose the right one for your project. Remember that some finishes can be toxic, so you should not use them indoors. So, always wear protective gear when handling them.
