How To
How to make wood joint
This tutorial will help you join two pieces of wooden together. We'll use the "pocket hole joint," which means we drill holes in the wood and then glue them together. This works well if the wood is straight and smooth. If your wood isn't straight or flat, you might want to try another method, such as dowel joinery. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your pocket hole joint. With a handheld drill machine or jig saw, drill 3/4-inch deep holes in the ends of each piece.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue the two sides of the wood together. Apply glue to both ends of the wood. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.
-
Fix the Pieces together. After the glue has dried completely, you can clamp the pieces together until they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
