How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show how to join 2 pieces of wood together. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. This method is great if your wood's straight and smooth. You might consider dowel joinery if your wood isn’t straight or flat. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Measure and mark the location where you would like to place the pocket hole joint. With a handheld drill machine or jig saw, drill 3/4-inch deep holes in the ends of each piece.

Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will help ensure that the joint won't split later.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes before you clamp the pieces together.

Connect the pieces. After the glue has dried completely, you can clamp the pieces together until they are flush.
