The really hard problem in woodworking is making strong corners with nothing but flat sticks. The trees have the answer; they just grow a branch. The cabinetmaker has to fake it, by cutting and neatly fitting a joint. Fine Woodworking on Joinery is largely about how to make the sturdy workhorse of the cabinetmaking art, the mortise and tenon joint. In 36 articles from Fine Woodworking magazine, experienced craftsmen explain how they choose, make, and use the mortise and tenon and its many variations for paneled walls and doors, cabinets, tables, and chairs. You’ll also learn about glues for wood.
