How To
How to join wood with no nails
Woodworking is a hobby that many people enjoy doing. It's fun and relaxing because you can use your hands to make something useful from wood. However, there are times when you want to join two pieces of wood together without having to use nails. This article will show you how to do it to make your woodwork projects look great.
Before joining the pieces of wood together, you will need to first trim any edges. Do not leave any sharp corners as they could cause problems down in the future. Now it's time to start glueing your boards together.
If you are working on hardwood, you should only use glue on one side. For softwoods like cedar and pine, glue should be applied to both sides. Apply the glue to the boards and press them down until they are securely attached. Make sure you let the glue dry before moving on to the next step.
After you have glued the boards together, drill holes in the joints where you intend to place screws. You can choose the type of screw to determine the size of your holes. For example, if you're going to use a 1/2-inch wood screw, then you should drill a hole that is at least 3/4 inches deep.
Once you've drilled your holes, you'll want to drive the screws through the joint and into the backside of the board. Don't hit the board's surface. You could damage the finish. Avoid hitting the screws' ends too often when driving screws. This will prevent splitting in the end grain of the wood.
Now that your project is finished, you'll want to protect it from the elements. You can either cover the entire furniture or just the top. You will want to choose a product that will be durable for many years. Examples include oil-based varnishes and polyurethanes, shellac, lacquer and others.
These products can generally be found in any home improvement shop. You should make sure you are getting the right type for the job. Don't forget to keep in mind that some finishes are toxic. So, always wear protective gear when handling them.
