How To
How to make wood joint
This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces wood together. We will use the pocket hole joint, which is drilling holes in the wood to join them. If your wood is straight and flat, this method will work well. You may want to consider other methods, such as dowel joining. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Start by measuring and marking the spot where the pocket hole joint will be placed. 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. Sanding the wood's edges will ensure that the joint doesn't split.

Glue the two sides of the wood together. Apply glue to both the ends of the wood. Allow the wood to rest for five minutes before clamping it together.

Clamp the Pieces Together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.

Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
