This Video Explains the Sneakiest Way to Hide Screws In Wood

If you like to do any woodworking, you’re probably aware of the eyesore that screws can be. This method lets you attach wood together with screws, but keeps the screw head hidden from sight.

The video above, from YouTuber Average Joes Joinery, demonstrates one of the sneakiest methods out there for hiding the presence of screws. To do it, you’ll need a wood chisel, a mallet, some wood glue, and some clamps. The trick is to carefully carve out a flap of wood with the chisel so you can lay it back down over the screw head. The wood glue will keep the flap in place, and a little sanding will make it all blend together. Just make sure your chisel is sharp and that you do some practice tries before you attempt it on your actual project. Obviously, you only want to do this for things you’ll never need to disassemble, but it’s pretty effective for everything else.
