TECHNIQUES

THE BASIS

If the object you intend not to suffer severe constraints, such as bear a heavy load, a simple adhesive or screw (see both) is sufficient.

However, bonding requires a drying time and screwing or nailing the disadvantage of revealing the head and splitting wood soft.

Cons, you can hide under a layer of wood pulp or under a veneer.

There are adhesives adapted to each material with different technical qualities, but wood glue generic is generally satisfactory. For better bonding, professionals often use glue neoprene, which is less environmentally cons.

Similarly, there are screws and nails more efficient on certain materials. In most cases, the wood screws generic is ample.

The principle of antlers glued, nailed or screwed to the advantage of being easy to implement in ensuring the squareness of panels from the inside and make the invisible mount.

This is the principle most often used by beginners when they start.

However, it has the disadvantage of using a lot of material, increase the weight substantially and significantly reduce the volume of storage.

For reasons of functionality, we never use this principle to our plans.

You will find in DIY stores, an assortment of hardware assembly adapted to each configuration.

That said, if it facilitates the work is just the hardware which is quickly blowing your budget. It is therefore necessary to know before you start where you want to save more money.

You can of course achieve yourself from profiled aluminum or steel, to reduce the cost.

The dowel is a stick grooved hardwood sliding into parts to assemble and is a principle invisible mount.

Widely used in industry, it requires some precision, it is easy to use, economical and provides a very good strength combined with collage.

Sold by the meter or pouch in various lengths and diameters, they are chosen depending on the thickness of the pieces to assemble.

This is the principle that we recommend for beginners because its implementation requires no special equipment, although there are tools helping to precision drilling.

It's drill several holes not lead to regular distance in the thickness of parts to assemble in order to embed the Dowel.

The wood cookie is a small plank hardwood fluted which incorporates the principle of journals, increasing the strength of the assembly.

It fits into grooves made in earlier parts to assemble.

It is found in bag but it is quite possible to do yourself. the choice is made depending on the thickness of the pieces to assemble.

This principle requires an appropriate tool to achieve such a grooving biscuit joiner.

You can also achieve this grooving with a small circular saw blade that mounts on a drill or better yet the router.

false tongue is the use of a thin plate that is placed in the grooves of items to assemble.

This technique is particularly used in the framing or assembly of tray plate.

Unlike the biscuit slots are full length pieces and may be leading or not.

They run with the same tools as the biscuit. The cutter or blade should be the same thickness as the tongue.

The Mi-Wood is the principle of embedding the easiest way to make the assembling pieces together, when one wishes to have flush surfaces, or having recourse to any other system.

Depending on room configuration, you can combine or not to another principle assembly as collage.

It involves removing half the thickness of each piece emitting material to chisel at the router or the top and follow the elements on one another.

Because all interlocking techniques, it requires precision and a certain skill when you want something clean, but remains accessible to all with a little attention.
