Joinery is a part of woodworking that involves joining
together pieces of timber or lumber, to produce more
complex items. Some wood joints employ fasteners,
bindings, or adhesives, while others use only wood
elements. The characteristics of wooden joints -
strength, flexibility, toughness, appearance, etc. - derive
from the properties of the materials involved and the
purpose of the joint. Therefore, different joinery
techniques are used to meet differing requirements. For
example, the joinery used to construct a house can be
different from that used to make puzzle toys, although
some concepts overlap.

or screws.
Framing Joints
Widening joints are used to make slabs of solid timber that are
wider than is normally available.
Construction Steps
Mortise = hole
Tenon = thing-designed-to-fill-said-hole
SAMPO-ZASHI
ADVENTAGES :
Simple
Stronger than a butt joint
More surface area to glue
DISADVENTAGES :
Relatively weak
Will require extra reinforcement
DOVETAIL
ADVENTAGES :
Very strong
Aesthetically pleasing
Needs no extra support
DISVENTAGES :
Complex to construct but a jig can be used
HOUSING JOINT
ADVENTAGES :
Relatively strong
simple construction
DISADVENTAGES :
Not as aesthetically pleasing as other joints.
COMB JOINT
ADVENTAGES :
Strong joint
A jig can be used for faster comb cutting plenty
of gluing surfaces
