How To
How to make wooden joints
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. This method works great if your wood is straight and smooth. You might consider dowel joinery if your wood isn’t straight or flat. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. First, measure the area where you wish to place the pocket 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 wood's edges will help ensure that the joint won't split later.
-
Glue together. Apply glue to both sides of the wood. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.
-
Secure 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.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
