How To
How to make wood joint
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. This works well if the wood is straight and smooth. 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. 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. The wood's edges can be sanded to prevent splitting.
-
Glue Together Apply glue to both sides of the wood. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Secure the pieces together. After the glue has dried thoroughly, secure the pieces so that they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries completely, trim off any excess wood around the joint.
Be sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can be turned inside-out.
