 INTRODUCTION

This project will be consisted of types of wood joints and what they are used for.
 Definition

Joinery is apart of wood working that involves joining pieces of wood, engineered lumber, or
synthetic substitutes, to produce more complex items. Some wood working joints employ
mechanical fasteners, bindings, or adhesives, while others use only wood elements.

Wood joints - Wood joints are used for lengthening , widening and framing.

Every wood joint belongs to a family.

The simplest joint to construct is the butt joint.

 BUTT JOINT

The butt joint is the esasiest joint to construct because it is only consist of timber glue or a wooden
pin.
 Mortise and tenon

These are the commonly used framing joint, being versatile easily concealed within the framing and
the most efficient.
 Through mortise and tenon

Through mortise: a mortise that passes entirely through a piece. Wedged half-dovetail : a mortise in
which the back is wider, or taller, than the front, or opening.
 Stub mortise and tenon

The stub mortise and tenon I only cut partially trough the timber member.
 Double tenon

Double tenon are two tenons are cut side by side in the thickness of the framing member.

A double mortise and tenon joint also offers twice as much surface area for glue, making the joint
stronger. It is not something you'll need for every project, but it will be handy to know for some. In
this video, the Wood Whisperer uses a router to cut the mortises and a tablesaw to cut the tenons.
 Half-Lap Joint

The half-lap joint is where half of each of the two boards being joined is removed so that the two boards join
together flush with one another. This type of wood joinery can obviously weaken the strength of the two adjoining
boards, but also is a stronger joint than butt joints. There are a number of projects where this type of wood joint is
quite desirable, in spite of its drawbacks.
 Biscuit Joint

Another method for joining boards along the edges (like the tongue and groove joint) is to cut slots
and use beechwood wafers (known as a biscuit) to hold the boards in place. This is a very useful
modern woodworking joint, particularly for creating table tops, relying on glue and the swelling of
the beechwood biscuit to hold the boards in place. Learn how to cut consistent slots and get reliable
results from biscuit joinery.
 Box Joint

Dovetail joints are beautiful and strong, but not always practical. A box joint is a simpler alternative
to the dovetail joint. Learn how to build consistent and strong box joints in your woodworking
projects.
 Dowel joint

Because dowel joints are more difficult to create than pocket hole joints, they are less popular now
than they once were. To make a dowel joint, drill holes where the two pieces meet, place a small
amount of glue in them, insert the dowels, and then clamp the pieces together.

Dowel joints serve the same purpose as pocket-hole joints but are more aesthetically appealing, and
wooden dowels offer greater strength than nails or screws.
 Finger Joints

This type of wood joinery technique is mainly used to join two pieces of wood to make a longer
board. A lengthening joint usually has a larger gluing surface between the joined pieces.
 TONGUE AND GROOVE

When joining two boards square to one another along a long edge, one can simply butt the joint
together and hold it with fasteners. However, the tongue and groove joint is much stronger and
provides more adjoining surface areas, which is particularly useful if you`re going to glue the joint.
