How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show how to join 2 pieces of wood together. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. If your wood is straight and flat, this method will work well. If your wood isn't straight or flat, you might want to try another method, such as dowel joinery. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. To start, measure and mark where you want to put the 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. The wood's edges can be sanded to prevent splitting.
-
Glue Together Apply glue to the sides of both wood. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Attach the Pieces together. After the glue has dried thoroughly, secure the pieces so that they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
