Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Measure and Mark
- Determine where you want to join the wood pieces.
- Use a ruler or measuring tape to mark the exact position for the dowels on both pieces of wood.
- Mark the spots with a pencil for accuracy.
Step 2: Drill Holes
- Select a drill bit that matches the size of the dowels (8 mm).
- Drill holes at the marked spots on both pieces of wood.
- Ensure the depth of the holes is half the length of the dowels (approximately 3/4 inch).
Step 3: Insert Dowels
- Apply a small amount of wood glue into each hole.
- Insert the dowels into the holes on one piece of wood.
- Ensure the dowels are firmly secured in place.
Step 4: Join the Wood Pieces
- Align the second piece of wood with the dowels protruding from the first piece.
- Press the two pieces of wood together so the dowels fit tightly into the holes of the second piece.
Step 5: Clamp and Dry
- Use clamps to hold the wood pieces together securely.
- Allow the glue to dry completely, as per the glue manufacturer’s instructions.
Tips for Best Results
- Ensure all measurements are accurate to prevent misalignment.
- Use a depth stop on your drill for consistent hole depth.
- Clean any excess glue immediately to avoid staining the wood.
