This message quickly spread, and it became widespread even though the internet was limited at that time.

How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will help you join two pieces of wooden together. We will use the pocket hole joint, which is drilling holes in the wood to join them. If your wood is straight and flat, this method will work well. If your wood isn't straight or flat, you might want to try another method, such as dowel joinery. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. To start, measure and mark where you want to put the pocket hole 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 wood's edges will help ensure that the joint won't split later.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue to both sides of the wood. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Connect the pieces. After the glue has dried completely, you can clamp the pieces together until they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim any excess wood surrounding the joint once the glue has dried completely.
You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
