Woodworking Joints

You could say that woodworking joints, by themselves, have become a art form, a industry, and sometimes a subject of great dilemma.

Since the first carpenter created the first joint people have been modifying and inventing new types of joints. Even today as a standard joint gets a modified upgrade, a new joint is created.

Some joints have become the accepted standard for certain applications and others are constantly being modified for faster construction or to make a standard joint stronger.

Although I'm finding joint design seems to be endless, I'm listing some of the most common joints along with their common uses.
