Joints
Finger Joints
finger joints are easy to make all is needed is to cut out equally sized shapes from both pieces of wood like seen in the image
Butt Joint
the butt joint is the easiest joint there is but most likely the weakest joint all is needed is to glue two sections of wood together
tongue and groove
Tongue and groove joint is like the mortise and tenon joint, but instead of joining two pieces at a 90° angle, the tongue and groove connection creates a strong and smooth parallel joint.
mortise and tenon
A mortise and tenon is a joint that is made up of two parts. The tenon part of the joint works as a peg, and the mortis is the hole where the tenon is inserted
