PLANING AND SQUARING TO DIMENSIONS
Planing and squaring a small piece of board to dimensions is what
you might call the first lesson in woodworking. Like many other things
you may have tried to do, it looks easy until you try it. The six major
steps in this process are illustrated and described in figure 3-40. You
should practice these steps until you can get a smooth, square board with
a minimum of planing.

JOINTS AND JOINING


Commonly Used Joints in Woodworking:
Butt joint-the end of a piece of wood is butted against another piece of
wood. This is the simplest and weakest joint.
Miter joint-similar to a butt joint, but both pieces have been cut at a 45-
degree angle.
Lap joints-one piece of wood will overlap another.
Box joint-also called a finger joint, used for the corners of boxes. It
involves several lap joints at the ends of two boards.
Dovetail joint-a form of box joint where the fingers are locked together
by diagonal cuts.
Dado joint-a slot is cut across the grain in one piece for another piece to
set into; shelves on a bookshelf having slots cut into the sides of the shelf, for
example.
Groove joint-the slot is cut with the grain.
Tongue and groove-Each piece has a groove cut all along one edge, and
a thin, deep ridge (the tongue) on the opposite edge. If the tongue is unattached,
it is considered a spline joint.
Mortise and tenon-a stub (the tenon) will fit tightly into a hole cut for it
(the mortise). This is a hallmark of Mission Style furniture, and also the
traditional method of jointing frame and panel members in doors, windows, and
cabinets.
