    Joinery involves fitting, gluing, and fastening wood joints. There are four basic types of joints: simple joints, reinforced joints, mortise and tenon joints, and interlocking joints. A butt joint connects two boards at a corner by butting their ends together and nailing or screwing them. A miter joint connects two angled pieces of wood at a 90 degree angle, often used for frames and molding. A dado is a slot cut across the grain to receive another piece of wood. A rabbet creates a lip by cutting a groove into the edge of a board.

    WOOD JOINTS

    JOINERY IS A SECTION OF WOODWORKING. THERE ARE THREE BSIC


    OPERATIONS TO APPLY ON JOINTS WHICH ARE FITTINGS, GLUING, AND
    FASTENING. THERE ARE 4 BASIC TYPES OF JOINTS WHICH ARE SIMPLE JOINTS,
    REINFORCED JOINTS, MORTISSE AND TENON JOINTS AND INTERLOCKING JOINTS.

    A butt joint is a type of wood joint used to connect two pieces of wood to each other at a
    corner (typically 90 degrees). This wood joinery technique involves butting the end of one
    board up to the face of another board and driving nails or screws through them for strength.

    A miter joint connects two 45-degree angled pieces of wood together at a 90-degree angle.
    They are most used in making frames, crown molding, furniture, cabinets, doors, windows,
    boxes, and joining architraves.

    A dado is a three-sided tough or trench. It is a slot, trench or U-shaped channel cut into the
    surface of a piece of wood. A dado is different from a groove because it is cut across or
    perpendicular to the grain. Cutting parallel to or with the grain would make it a groove.

    The rabbet or rebate is a groove cut into the edge of a piece of wood to create a lip. Rather
    than creating a butt joint where, essentially, two pieces of wood are just nailed, screwed, or
    bracketed together at their edges, an L-shaped groove is cut into one or both pieces of
    wood at their edges. This lip can also be inserted into a corresponding groove or dado,
    similar to a tongue-and-groove joint.  

    An edge joint formed by uniting two edges or two surfaces (as by welding) especially
    making a corner.

    Compound miter cuts are where the saw is both in a miter position and a bevel position at
    the same time.

    Lap joints combine the interlocking characteristics of rabbets and dadoes in a number of
    different configurations to join two boards face to face. Lap joints are a better alternative to
    butt joints for frame construction, because laps offer much more gluing area and the pieces
    actually interlock mechanically.

    A scarf joint is formed where two pieces lap each other in the direction of the grain, with
    flush surfaces. This joint is so constructed as to resist tension and compression.
