The basics of woodwork: joints are an essential part of carpentry, turning and cabinetmaking. Even DIY enthusiasts hardly get far without being able to join different pieces of wood together. Fully illustrated step-by-step instructions teach how to make the most common wood joints.

Depending on the workpiece, the parts are joined with grooves, rebates or mitres, with tenons, finger joints, dowels and much more. Twenty wood joints are presented in all. Ideal basic reading for beginners and a reference work for practitioners.
