“ASPECTS OF WOOD JOINTS “

Definition:

Joinery is a part of woodworking that involves joining together pieces of wood, to create furniture, structures, toys, and other items. Some wood joints employ fasteners, bindings, or adhesives, while others use only wood elements. The characteristics of wooden joints - strength, flexibility, toughness, etc. - derive from the properties of the joining materials and from how they are used in the joints. Therefore, different joinery techniques are used to meet differing requirements. For example, the joinery used to build a house is different from that used to make puzzle toys, although some concepts overlap.

Aspects of Wood joints

Designing and building furniture you have to consider a lot of different aspects. Apart from the appearance of the whole furniture and the dimensions you have to know how to construct the derails. These details have to be part of your drawing, so you have to think about them before you actually go the workshop and start the production or project.

Materials Needed:

Materials Needed:

Chaser

Clamp

Hand Saw and many more

Materials Needed:

WORK BENCH

It should have a proper work bench in order to work comfortable and safe.

The designer has to consider some aspects:

Strength Appearance Cost Difficulty Assembly Quality Disassembly Material Customer

Safety Sector

Anti-Vibration Glove, Right

Disposable N95 Dust Masks, Box of 20

Mag-Safe Bifocal Safety Glasses

Face Shield with Racheting Headgear

…………………………”

Joint Strength

Good fit

Big gluing area

Direction of the wood

Interlocking

Now, Here are some kinds of joints

Miter Joint

Mitter joint

In the mitter joint we can see that there is only end grain joined together.

Finger Joint

Box Finger Joint

This joint is actually has a very big gluing and interlocking area.

The width of the fingers should be about 1/3 to ½ the thickness of the wood.

Mortise and Tenon Joint

Mortise and Tenon joint

Simple and strong, the mortise and tenon joint has been used for thousands of years by woodworkers around the world to join pieces of wood, usually when the pieces are at an angle close to 90°.

Dado Joint

Dado joint

It can be used to fix shelfes in a rack.

A dado is cut across, or perpendicular to, the grain and is thus differentiated from a groove which is cut with, or parallel to, the grain.

The END!

Thank you very much!!
