A few words of introduction…
Joinery is an essential aspect of woodworking that involves joining pieces of wood, engineered wood or synthetic substitutes (such as laminate) to create more complex items.
Here are some information about joinery.
JOINERY TECHNIQUES
Mechanical Fasteners and Adhesives
Some woodworking joints utilize mechanical fasteners (like screws or nails), bindings, or adhesives.
Wood-Only Joints
Others rely solely on wood elements, such as dowels or plain mortise and tenon fittings.
The choice of joinery technique depends on factors like strength, flexibility, toughness, and appearance.
Joinery vs. Carpentry:
Joiners specialise in creating objects or furniture in workshops. They focus on connecting or joining pieces of wood to make doors, window frames and basic furniture.
Carpenters, on the other hand, work with structural timber in construction projects.
In summary, joinery is a fascinating craft that combines artistry, functionality and the unique properties of wood to create durable and beautiful structures.
