JOINERY

What is joinery?

• Joinery is the method by which two or more parts of


wood are connected and a joiner is an artisan who
builds things by joining pieces of woods particularly
lighter and ornamental (decorative) work than that
done by carpenters.

• It can involve simple gluing, nailing, or screwing of


the two pieces of wood but it can be a complicated
as using very intricate joints.

• The primary role of joinery is to hold woods
together strongly and securely.

• Joinery is an important part of most woodworking


and it is found in furniture, cabinetry, windows and
doors, flooring and much more.

• It is a specialist area of carpentry.
