How To

How to join wood without using nails

Woodworking is a hobby that many people enjoy doing. Woodworking can be a fun hobby because you can work with your hands to make useful objects from wood. There are times when two pieces of wood need to be joined together. This article will demonstrate how to do so to preserve the beauty of your woodwork.

Before you can join the wood pieces together, you need to remove any rough edges. Sharp corners can cause problems down the line. Now it's time to start glueing your boards together.

You should only glue one side of hardwood. For softwoods like cedar and pine, glue should be applied to both sides. Once the glue has dried, press the boards together until they are fully adhered. Before moving onto the next step, make sure the glue has dried completely.

Once you've glued your boards together you will need to drill holes in the joints to accommodate screws. These holes will differ depending on the type and size of screw you are using. If you are going to use a half-inch wood screw, you will need to drill at least 3/4 inch deep.

After drilling the holes, you can drive the screws into your board's backside. Avoid hitting the board's top surface. Otherwise, you could ruin the finish. Avoid hitting the screws' ends too often when driving screws. This will avoid splitting in the wood's ends grain.

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. You can choose from oil-based varnishes or polyurethane, shellac and lacquer as examples.

These products can usually be found at any home improvement store. Be sure to choose the right one for your project. Don't forget to keep in mind that some finishes are toxic. So, always wear protective gear when handling them.
