  • Woodworking Joints.Key
    Woodworking making joints Using Joints Basic Butt Joint The butt joint is the most basic woodworking joint. Commonly used when framing walls in conventional, stick-framed homes, this joint relies on mechanical fasteners to hold the two pieces of stock in place. Learn how to build a proper butt joint, and when to use it on your woodworking projects. Basic Butt Joint The simplest of joints is a butt joint - so called because one piece of stock is butted up against another, then fixed in place, most commonly with nails or screws. The addition of glue will add some strength, but the joint relies primarily upon its mechanical fixings. ! These joints can be used in making simple boxes or frames, providing that there will not be too much stress on the joint, or that the materials used will take nails or screws reliably. Butt joints are probably strongest when fixed using glued dowels. Mitered Butt Joint ! A mitered butt joint is basically the same as a basic butt joint, except that the two boards are joined at an angle (instead of square to one another). The advantage is that the mitered butt joint will not show any end grain, and as such is a bit more aesthetically pleasing. Learn how to create a clean mitered butt joint. Mitered Butt Joint The simplest joint that requires any form of cutting is a miter joint - in effect this is an angled butt joint, usually relying on glue alone to construct it. It requires accurate 45° cutting, however, if the perfect 90° corner is to result.

  • Introduction to Carpentry Tools and Joints
    INTRODUCTION TO CARPENTRY TOOLS 1. Try Square 2. Steel Rule 3. Marking Guage 4. Coping Saw 5. Tenon Saw 6. Penon Saw 7. Ironjack Plane 8. Benchwise 1. Try Square This is used to mark lines at 90 degrees to a straight edge. It is used to mark out lines square to the face edge and face side. It may also be used to check if edges are straight. If the try square is placed on the edge of the material and held up to a light, any light shining through between the material and the try square blade indicates that the edge of the material is not straight. 2. Steel Rule A steel rule is a very accurate marking and measuring tool. The steel is thin and the markings on the rule are very fine. The measurements are in millimetres on one edge and inches on the other. The steel rule can also be used as a straight edge to check if materials or edges of materials are straight. The measurements on the steel rule go all the way to the end unlike the plastic ruler. This is because the rule may be used to measure inside pipes. It may also be used to measure diameters and circumferences of pipes and tubes accurately. The end of the rule with the measurements to the edge is called the zero end. By: Harish Gupta Page 1 3. Marking Guage The marking gauge is used on wood.It is used to mark straight lines parallel to a straight edge.The marking tool has an adjustable stock (the stock slides up and down the stem) and is set using a steel rule.

  • Digital Fabrication Strategies for Timber Thin-Walled Sections
    This paper is part of the Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on High Performance and Optimum Design of Structures and Materials (HPSM 2016) www.witconferences.com Digital fabrication strategies for timber thin-walled sections Y. Al-Qaryouti, J. M. Gattas, R. Shi & L. McCann School of Civil Engineering, University of Queensland, Australia Abstract A rise in digital fabrication technologies has led to numerous recent advances in the design and manufacture of woodworking joints. Computational generative processes can be used to create a part with integral mechanical attachments for friction-fit, adhesion-less connections between parts. These processes can additionally create machine code for production of such parts on computer- numerically controlled (CNC) cutters. This paper investigates such computational processes for digital design and manufacture of timber thin-walled structural sections. Assembly procedures are first presented for rectangular hollow sections and I-sections, with a series of timber prototypes produced to demonstrate their CNC production. An experimental analysis on square hollow sections under uniaxial compressive loading is then conducted. Tight fit digitally-fabricated sections are seen to possess a structural capacity approaching that of the glued sections. Prototypes with different assembly tolerances and grain directions produce a range of novel failure modes and give insight into potential failure paths of digitally-fabricated timber sections. Keywords: digital fabrication, timber engineering, thin-walled sections. 1 Introduction 1.1 Digital Fabrication The Digital Age is transforming how we design, build, and produce structures [1] with digital modelling and fabrication tools now available that provide a degree of flexibility and coordination never previously available [2].

  • Making Stub-Tenon Doors
    Making Stub-tenon Doors The stub-tenon joint will never be the super- hero of your joinery arsenal because it doesnʼt have the stuff necessary to be a strong joint. The mating parts are short (hence the “stub” moniker) and itʼs housed on only two sides: the face cheeks of the tenon. There is sufficient glue surface, but the cross-grain orientation compromises the glue joint. In the pantheon of woodworking joints, the stub-tenon joint may be more accurately described as a 90-pound weakling. But even so, this can be sufficient for smaller, lightweight doors that donʼt take a lot of abuse. For example, you wouldnʼt choose this joint for kitchen cabinet doors or built-ins for the kidsʼ playroom. But itʼs OK to use a stub-tenon door for a vanity cabinet or for a project thatʼs built as much for looks as it is for service. Once a door weighs more than four or five pounds, or is larger than 18" x 24", you must abandon the stub-tenon joint for a more substantial one. Mortise-and-tenon construction, dowels, loose tenons and even biscuit joints are superior choices for larger, heavier doors. So why use a stub-tenon joint? Well, itʼs easy to make because it requires a minimal amount of setup time regardless of the method you choose to cut the joint. Itʼs usually cut with a router in a table or on the table saw using a stack dado set. The ease of setup is because the same groove thatʼs cut to receive the panel doubles as the groove for the stub tenon.
