How To
How to join wood without using nails
Woodworking is a popular hobby. It's fun and relaxing because you can use your hands to make something useful from wood. There are times when two pieces of wood need to be joined together. This article will explain how to do this so that your woodwork projects stay beautiful.
First, remove any sharp edges from the wood pieces before you join them. You don't want any sharp corners to cause problems later. Once you have done that, you can begin gluing your boards together.
If you are working on hardwood, you should only use glue on one side. If you're using softwoods like pine or cedar, you should put glue on both sides. Once the glue has dried, press the boards together until they are fully adhered. After applying the glue, let dry the boards before proceeding to the next stage.
After you have glued your boards, drill holes where you want to insert screws. The size of these holes depends on what type of screw you choose to use. For example, if you intend to use 1/2-inch wood screws, you need to drill a hole that is at most 3/4 inches 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. Don't drive the screws too far into the end. This will avoid splitting in the wood's ends grain.
Now that your project is finished, you'll want to protect it from the elements. You can either seal the entire piece of furniture or cover the top. It doesn't matter what method you use, you want something that will last many years. Examples include oil-based varnishes and polyurethanes, shellac, lacquer and others.
These products are available at most home improvement stores. It is important to ensure that you purchase the correct product for the job. Also, remember that some finishes are toxic and should never be used indoors. Wear protective gear whenever you are handling them.
