How to join 2 pieces of wood at the corner

[@beatricevancroonenborg9465]

Sometimes that's all we want - a quick solution to a basic question. Thank you.

[@RusticDavid]

Thank you Beatrice good luck with your project David

[@CarlyKleve]

Yes exactly

[@muammerucal1144]

Thank you very much David!! I had been very much frustrated with all those DIY videos around, in which they do their shows with all fancy expensive tools, high precision jigs etc etc. You are showing actually what I really need and what is real for me. Because I have a hand saw, some pallet wood, a hammer and nails to start with.

Thank you! This is exactly the type of foundational info I needed and couldn't find for ages! Didn't grow up around handy people but want to learn. Basics like this are really appreciated.

Hi Ari Im realy happy to hear that you like the videos and would be happy to hear any suggestions for future videos Happy woodworking David

[@flyushkifly]

I like that nothing is taken for granted in this video. I'm a hobbyist somewhere around intermediate I was still reminded of tricks and techniques that I hadn't thought about in a long time. Experts often assume that some things are so basic they go without saying - would even be insulting to explain. That just leaves beginners in the dark and afraid to ask "stupid" questions. Who's going to want to do something if they've been handicapped like that?

[@RusticDavid]

hi Flyushkifly thanks for your comment i believe your right so i try to take nothing for granted and explain from skratch with a little humour have a great day Happy woodworking David

Really love that you've taken it all the way back to the basics, I'm planning on building a box bed base for myself but I haven't done 5 minutes of woodwork in my life! (I'm planning on making a mini one for my dog first to get the hang of it) So many places I've looked at for "dummies" assumes you already know the basics! This is fantastic 👌🏼 thank you!

[@RusticDavid]

Thanks Andromeda dogs bed sounds like a great place to start check corners for 90 degrees and force them to 90 if required the parts should be the same lengths you can do it we all have to start somewhere Happy woodworking David

[@andiegwilt357]

Rustic David Thanks for the tips! Do you have any advice to join two pieces of wood into a corner with a post? I was thinking of doing it with pocket hole joints but not sure if it's appropriate.

[@RusticDavid]

hi if you go with pocket holes i advise you to reinforce the corner with a triangular block of wood notched to accommodate the leg glued and screwed in the corner i think that a mortise and tenon joint is preferable and you can make this joint using a hand saw and a chisel and a carpenters square to mark the lines i didn't maker a video of this yet but theres a lot out there good luck David

the jig idea is nice but it means you need a different size for each vertical board that you're hammering in (in different projects) however, that first idea with the smaller piece of wood to maintain the stability was a great idea which could be used with various projects and lengths of wood. Thanks!!

[@RusticDavid]

SpiderFromMars Hi yes nails are a strong joint but the top board MUST sit ON the sides

[@RusticDavid]

SpiderFromMars and you will need some thing to stop sideways wobbling like a back of thin plywood or diagonal laths or a a board lying horizontally under top board between the sides also nailed from sides and top Hope this helps

[@bill4123]

Sometimes when I use your method, I like to send the nails in diagonal, and also not parallel to each other. This way they can't easily pull out. Also, when I was a child I preferred the same style hammer as in this video. The sharp claw of other hammers scared me, the handle on this one was small for my little hands, and the head was lighter for easy control while I learned. I still have the hammer and will use it for teaching my children. Thanks for the nostalgia ;).

Hi in answer to your question nails are easy and quick in soft woods driving them at different angles will increase holding power but with time and seasonal movement of the wood they will loosen their grip Screws with predrilled pilot holes are superior to nails take more time and tools to do I hope that helps you Happy Woodworking David
