How To

How to make wooden joints

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. Try dowel joinery instead if your wood doesn't look straight. These are the steps

  1. 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.
  2. Sand Smooth. You can sand the edges of the wood to ensure that it doesn't split.
  3. Glue together. Apply glue to both the ends of the wood. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
  4. Connect the pieces. After the glue has dried completely, you can clamp the pieces together until they are flush.
  5. Trim Joinery. Trim any excess wood surrounding the joint once the glue has dried completely.

Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
