How To
How to join wood with no nails
Woodworking is a favorite hobby. Woodworking can be a fun hobby because you can work with your hands to make useful objects from wood. Sometimes you may want to join two pieces together of wood without using nails. This article will demonstrate how to do so to preserve the beauty of your woodwork.
You will first need to trim the edges of your wood pieces before joining them. You don't want any sharp corners to cause problems later. Once you have done that, you can begin gluing your boards together.
If you are working with hardwood, only one side should be glue. You should glue both sides if you are working with softwoods such as pine and cedar. Press the boards down until the glue is fully incorporated. 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.
Once you have drilled the holes, the next step is to drive your screws through the joint into the board's backside. Be careful not to hit the front surface of the board, or else you'll ruin the finish. Avoid hitting the screws' ends too often when driving screws. This will avoid splitting in the wood's ends grain.
After your project is completed, you will need to protect it from the weather. To do this, you can seal the entire furniture piece or just cover the top. You'll want a product that lasts for many years. You can choose from oil-based varnishes or polyurethane, shellac and lacquer as examples.
These products can generally be found in any home improvement shop. Make sure you get the right product for your job. Keep in mind that certain finishes can be toxic and should not be used indoors. So, always wear protective gear when handling them.
