- solid timber is very absorbent at its ends
- the ends of solid timber have "end grain"
- gluing to end grain results in a weak joint
- the aim of wood joints is to:
- glue to the sides of timber whenever possible
- include a mechanical joint
- joints are designed for particular purposes
- there are a range of standard joints that may be adapted for specific purposes
- knock down fittings (KD fittings) are utilised in the construction of mass produced furniture
- there are a range of adhesives available for particular uses and environments
- screws used to fix timber parts may be hidden in plugged counterbores
- joints must be marked out and cut and shaped accurately.
