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. If your wood is straight and flat, this method will work well. You may want to consider other methods, such as dowel joining. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your pocket hole joint. Use a jigsaw or handheld drilling machine to drill 3/8 inch deep holes at the ends of each wood piece.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will ensure that the joint doesn't split.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue to both sides of the wood. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.
-
Fix the Pieces together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
To be able to turn the pieces inside-out, leave enough room between them.
