How To
How to join wooden boards without using nails
Many people love woodworking. It is relaxing and enjoyable because you can create something useful with wood. You might want to join two pieces from the same wood, but you don't need to use nails. This article will teach you how to do this to keep your woodwork projects looking great.
Before joining the pieces of wood together, you will need to first trim any edges. Sharp corners can cause problems down the line. Once you have done that, you can begin gluing your boards together.
If you're working with hardwood, you should only apply glue to one side. If you're using softwoods like pine or cedar, you should put glue on both sides. Apply the glue to the boards and press them down until they are securely attached. Before you proceed to the next step, be sure to let the glue dry completely.
After you've glued your boards, you'll want to drill holes into the joints where you plan to insert screws. Depending on what type screw you choose, the size of these holes will depend on how big they are. 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 have drilled the holes, the next step is to drive your screws through the joint into the board's backside. You should be careful not to touch the board's front surface. This could cause damage. 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 seal the furniture pieces or cover the top. You'll want a product that lasts for many years. Oil-based varnishes are, among others, polyurethanes shellac, laquer, and other oil-based products.
These products are available at most home improvement stores. You should make sure you are getting the right type for the job. Keep in mind that certain finishes can be toxic and should not be used indoors. Protective gear should always be worn when handling these finishes.
