This book provides an overview of how to create the most common joinery used in woodworking. Each joint is accompanied by detailed step-by-step instructions and illustrated with full-colour photographs. Methods are shown for creating joints using both hand tools and power tools, and alternative techniques are given where appropriate, allowing the reader to experiment and decide on their preferred process.
There is detailed information on the basic tools needed to construct each joint and how to choose the right joint for every job. Readers will also learn about factors that contribute to a strong wood joint, such as grain, to ensure they achieve success every time.
