How To
How to make wooden joints
This tutorial will help you join two pieces of wooden together. We will use the pocket hole joint, which is drilling holes in the wood to join them. This method works great if your wood is straight and smooth. You might consider dowel joinery if your wood isn’t straight or flat. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your pocket hole joint. Use a jigsaw or handheld drilling machine to drill 3/8 inch deep holes at the ends of each wood piece.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue Together Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Clamp the Pieces Together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. Trimming the joinery after glue has completely dried.
You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
