How To
How to join wood without using nails
Woodworking is a favorite hobby. It is relaxing and enjoyable because you can create something useful with wood. You may need to join two pieces without the use of nails. This article will explain how to do this so that your woodwork projects stay beautiful.
You will first need to trim the edges of your wood pieces before joining them. You don't want any sharp corners to cause problems later. Now it's time to start glueing your boards together.
If you are working on hardwood, you should only use glue on one side. If you are using softwoods such pine or cedar, glue should only be applied to one side. Press the boards down until the glue is fully incorporated. Before moving onto the next step, make sure the glue has dried completely.
After you've glued your boards, you'll want to drill holes into the joints where you plan to insert screws. Depending on the type of screw that you use, the size of these holes will vary. 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. Avoid hitting the board's top surface. Otherwise, you could ruin the finish. Try to not hit the ends of the screws when driving the screws. This will prevent the wood from splitting.
Once your project is complete, it's time to protect it against the elements. You can either seal the entire piece of furniture or cover the top. You'll want a product that lasts for many years. Oil-based varnishes are, among others, polyurethanes shellac, laquer, and other oil-based products.
These products are available at most home improvement stores. Make sure you get the right product for your job. Don't forget to keep in mind that some finishes are toxic. So, always wear protective gear when handling them.
