How To
How to make wood joint
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. 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. Start by measuring and marking the spot where the pocket hole joint will be placed. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will ensure that the joint doesn't split.
-
Glue together. Apply glue to both the ends of the wood. Allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes before you clamp the pieces together.
-
Fix the Pieces together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim any excess wood surrounding the joint once the glue has dried completely.
You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
