Wood Joinery for Beginners Handbook

The Essential Joinery Guide with Tools, Techniques, Tips and Starter Projects

About the Book

"There would be no trees without branches, and there would be no furniture without joints."

The one which binds together has always been special across cultures. Wood joinery has also evolved across various woodworking schools in their unique ways. For example, in Japanese joinery, the whole wooden house was built on the strength of the joinery. Joinery is used for connecting the wood and enhancing the final product's aesthetics.

My Journey:

Back in the days when I was starting with Wood Craft, I was desperately looking for the go-to guide about the processes and the tools involved.

Woodworking is a vast subject with many branches or verticals of this craft like Cabinet Making, Wood Carving, Joinery, Carpentry, and Woodturning.

The online content was information overloaded and not presented in a sequential manner. The books I referred to focused on a few processes or assumed I had the necessary information. Also, I found that most of the books were a little aged.

There are two ways of learning; one is learning from subject matter experts who have years of experience, and then there are people who are just a few steps ahead of you in their journey.

I am the second one, five years into this hobby, and still learning from the experts.

I still remember the initial doubts and tips that helped me.

This book comes after Woodworking for Beginners Handbook and focuses entirely on the joinery process. This book is for people in their first lap (0-3 years) of the wood-crafting journey who want a holistic idea of methods and tools and need help in their initial projects.

I have included ample photographs of realistic projects of beginners explaining the process and standard operating procedure while starting.

In the last chapter, I have provided a glossary of joinery terms and tips for beginners.

Below is the flow of the information provided in the book:

  • Introduction to Joinery
  • Joinery tools: Type of tools and how to use them
  • Detailed discussion on 15 types of joinery: advantage,disadvantage,strength,usage etc.
  • Japanese Joinery: Introduction, types, pros, cons, and application
  • CNC wood joinery: Introduction, various kinds of CNC joinery,
  • Five starter joinery projects with step-by-step instructions
  • Glossary of joinery terms
  • Tips for beginners

So, what are you waiting for? As said in the woodworking community:

Measure Twice and Cut Once and let's start the journey.

About the Author

Stephen Fleming
Stephen Fleming

Hello,

Welcome to my profile!

Here's my story:

I am Business Consultant in my mid-thirties with a Bachelor's in Engineering & Master in Business Management.

I have worked in the areas of IT Advisory & Roadmap and Project Management for transformational projects. Currently, I am working with the public sector in the e-Governance space, trying to take the benefits of technology to the masses through innovation and customization.

This aspect of disruptive technology beyond regular discussions/implementation excites me. I am always looking for that case study in South America, Africa, or Asia, where the game's rules have been changed to solve the massive scale of the problem!

On the personal front, the last ten years have been a roller coaster ride managing my career and family. My elder son is seven years old, and the second one turned 2.

Besides Technology, I have been into Leather Crafting, wood crafting, and foraging for the last five years. It is a perfect hobby for my weekends, and I enjoy crafting beautiful gifts for my family and friends.

I have been working consistently and most importantly enjoying my current phase of life, career, and growth. With all the experience and renewed vigor, I will surely achieve my goals in a stipulated time frame. I decided to jot down my learning and experiences along the way and share it with you.

 Will See You Soon, Friend!
