How To
How to join wood without using nails
Woodworking is a hobby that many people enjoy doing. It is relaxing and enjoyable because you can create something useful with wood. However, there are times when you want to join two pieces of wood together without having to use nails. This article will help you to maintain the beauty of your woodwork projects.
The first thing you'll need to do is cut off any rough edges from your pieces of wood before joining them together. Sharp corners can cause problems down the line. Now you can start gluing the boards together.
If you are working with hardwood, only one side should be glue. 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. After applying the glue, let dry the boards before proceeding to the next stage.
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.
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. When driving the screws, try to avoid hitting the ends of the screws too much. This will prevent splitting in the end grain of the wood.
You'll need to protect your completed project from the elements. You can seal the furniture pieces or cover the top. You want it to last years, so you can use any product. 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. 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. Always wear protective gear when handling any of these finishes.
