Types of Woodworking Joints Explained

The document discusses different types of woodworking joints. It explains that woodworking joints join two or more pieces of wood together to form a strong component. There are three main categories of joints: 1) lengthening joints like lap joints and scarf joints which increase the length of wood, 2) widening joints like tongue and groove joints which increase the width, and 3) framing joints like mortise and tenon joints which form angles and junctions. The document concludes by informing students they will complete a group project on selected wood joints.

WOODWORKING JOINTS
Wood working joints is said to be the point at which two or more pieces of wood are joined
together to form a firm, tight, strong and well-made component or product. It is a skill that
all builders must have to work with wood. We cannot have the exact length or width of a
wooden member, therefore there is need to either increase the width or length of the
member.
Joints generally fall into three categories, namely:
1. Lengthening
2. Widening
3. Framing

1. Lengthening joint: this category of joint deals with end to end connection. The
purpose is therefore to increase the effective length of the wooden member.
These include:
a. Lap joint
b. Butt joint
c. Scarf joint
d. Laminated joint
e. Finger joint
f. Half lap joint

Bridle joint
2. Widening joint: this involves edge to edge connection of boards so as to increase
its width. Examples include:
a. Dowelled joint
b. Tongue and groove joint
c. Slot screwed joint
d. Butt joint

3. Framing joints: Joints used to form angles and/or junctions can be divided into the
following groups:
● Housing,
● halving,
● Mor se and Tenon,
● Bridle,
● dowelled,
● notched and cogged,
● Dovetail,
● Mitre and scribe.
