An angled connection formed by joining two pieces of material, each cut at a complementary angle, is a fundamental technique in woodworking. The resulting intersection typically forms a 90-degree corner, though other... Read more »
This method of joining two pieces of wood involves creating a cavity, or mortise, in one piece and shaping the end of the other piece into a projecting tenon. The tenon is... Read more »
The use of cylindrical pieces of wood to reinforce or connect structural members is a time-honored technique in furniture construction and joinery. These small dowels, precisely fitted, create a strong mechanical bond,... Read more »
This dual-function machine combines the operations of two essential woodworking tools. One part flattens one face of a board and creates a reference surface. The other part squares an edge perpendicular to... Read more »
This classic method of joining wood employs two fundamental components: a cavity, known as the mortise, and a protruding element, referred to as the tenon. The tenon is carefully shaped to fit... Read more »
A woodworking joint characterized by one piece having a tenon that fits into a mortise or open-ended slot in the other. The tenon typically runs the full width of the mortised piece,... Read more »
A method of joining wood pieces characterized by interlocking, crenellated protrusions and recesses, creates a strong and visually distinctive connection. Imagine two pieces of wood, each shaped with alternating blocks that fit... Read more »
A fundamental technique in woodworking, this connection method involves joining two pieces of material end-to-end or edge-to-edge. The simplicity of this construction lies in butting the surfaces together, typically securing them with... Read more »
Woodworking relies heavily on the methods used to connect individual pieces of lumber. These connections, crucial for structural integrity and aesthetic appeal, vary significantly depending on the project requirements. Ranging from simple... Read more »
A corner produced when two pieces of wood are connected at a right angle, forming a structure where the ends meet at a precise 90-degree intersection. A common example is found in... Read more »
