    The document discusses dovetail wood joints, which consist of pins and tails that interlock to form a strong connection between pieces of wood. The two most common types are through dovetails, where the pins and tails pass all the way through the wood, and half-blind dovetails, where only the tails are visible from one side. Dovetail joints are commonly used to attach drawer sides to the front of furniture because they can withstand the pulling forces exerted on drawers.

    The two most typical types of dove-

    Classic Dovetail Wood Joint tail joints are the “Through Dovetail”
    joint
    Dovetail joints form a strong as well as aesthetically
    appealing joint between two pieces of wood
    (although dovetail joints can be used to attach
    other materials as well--this joint is also used in
    turbines). The joint consists of pins and tails (the
    pins on end fit into the tails on the other end).

    The dovetail joint is most typically used to


    attach the sides of a drawer to the front of a
    furniture piece.
    and the “Half Blind Dovetail Joint”.

    The dovetail joint works especially well


    in tension, it forms a strong connection
    that cannot easily be torn apart. This
    explains it’s use as a connection for
    drawers--the joint is able to resist the
    pulling force that is essential to the func-
    tion of this furniture type.
