1. Carpentry Joints
A joint, in carpentry terms, is the place where two pieces of wood fit together. Joiners attempt to craft the wood so
that the joint is as precise and unobtrusive as possible. These joints are among the most common used by
carpenters and cabinetmakers, who pick a particular joint based on factors such as the type of wood and the
intended use of the final product.
