How To
How to join wood without using nails
Woodworking is an enjoyable hobby. Woodworking is a relaxing hobby that allows you to use your hands to create useful things from wood. Sometimes you may want to join two pieces together of wood without using nails. This article will explain how to do this so that your woodwork projects stay beautiful.
First, remove any sharp edges from the wood pieces before you join them. Avoid leaving sharp edges that could lead to problems later. Now you can start gluing the boards together.
If you are working on hardwood, you should only use glue on one side. If you're using softwoods like pine or cedar, you should put glue on both sides. Once you have applied the glue, press down on the boards until they are fully attached. Make sure you let the glue dry before moving on to the next step.
After you have glued your boards, drill holes where you want to insert screws. The size of these holes depends on what type of screw you choose to use. For example, if you intend to use 1/2-inch wood screws, you need to drill a hole that is at most 3/4 inches deep.
After drilling the holes, you can drive the screws into your board's backside. Avoid hitting the board's top surface. Otherwise, you could ruin the finish. Don't drive the screws too far into the end. This will prevent splitting in the end grain of the wood.
Protect your finished project now. To do this, you can seal the entire furniture piece or just cover the top. It doesn't matter what method you use, you want something that will last many years. Some examples include oil-based varnishes, polyurethane, shellac, lacquer, etc.
You can find these products at most home improvement stores. Just make sure that you buy the right kind for the job. Remember that some finishes can be toxic, so you should not use them indoors. So, always wear protective gear when handling them.
