How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show how to join 2 pieces of wood together. We will use the "pockethole joint," which means that we drill holes in the wooden pieces and then glue them together. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. You may want to consider other methods, such as dowel joining. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. First, measure the area where you wish to place the pocket joint. You will then drill 3/4" deep holes through each piece of wood with a jigsaw, handheld drilling machine, or hand-held drill.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will ensure that the joint doesn't split.
-
Glue the two sides of the wood together. Apply glue to both ends of the wood. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Fix the Pieces together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. Trimming the joinery after glue has completely dried.
Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
