Plywood consists of layers made from wood and pressed together by pressure. Plywood can come in many thicknesses and is used for flooring and cabinets.

How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show how to join 2 pieces of wood together. We will use the "pockethole joint," which means that we drill holes in the wooden pieces and then glue them together. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. Try dowel joinery instead if your wood doesn't look straight. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. First, measure the area where you wish to place the pocket joint. Use a jigsaw or handheld drilling machine to drill 3/8 inch deep holes at the ends of each wood piece.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue Together Apply glue to both the ends of the wood. Allow the wood to rest for five minutes before clamping it together.
-
Fix the Pieces together. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trimming the joinery after glue has completely dried.
Be sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can be turned inside-out.
