WOODWORKING JOINTS
Wood working joints is said to be the point at which two or more pieces of wood are joined
together to form a firm, tight, strong and well-made component or product. It is a skill that
all builders must have to work with wood. We cannot have the exact length or width of a
wooden member, therefore there is need to either increase the width or length of the
member.
Joints generally fall into three categories, namely:
1. Lengthening
2. Widening
3. Framing

1. Lengthening joint: this category of joint deals with end to end connection. The
purpose is therefore to increase the effective length of the wooden member.
These include:
a. Lap joint
b. Butt joint
c. Scarf joint
d. Laminated joint
e. Finger joint
f. Half lap joint

Bridle joint
2. Widening joint: this involves edge to edge connection of boards so as to increase
its width. Examples include:
a. Dowelled joint
b. Tongue and groove joint
c. Slot screwed joint
d. Butt joint

3. Framing joints: Joints used to form angles and/or junctions can be divided into the
following groups:
● Housing,
● halving,
● Mor se and Tenon,
● Bridle,
● dowelled,
● notched and cogged,
● Dovetail,
● Mitre and scribe.
