Wood Joinery Assignment

For this assignment, we had to create five different types of wood joints: finger joint, rabbet joint, mortise and tenon joint, miter joint, and butt joint with dowels. And the type of wood I used was Poplar 1” x 10” x 30” and 3 1″ dowels.

*Then the with the cut up Poplar Poplar 1” x 10” x 30” of 10 pieces, I sanded the edges to smooth it out.

 

Before creating the actual joints, I drew 2D sketches of the five different types of joints.

 

  1. FINGER JOINTS AKA BOX JOINTS

For the Finger joints aka Box joints, I marked the areas I was going to cut and chisel.

2. RABBET JOINT

For the Rabbet joints, I used the chisel set to create a one side of the joints.

 

3. MORTISE AND TENON JOINT

For the Mortis and Tenon joints, I marked the the areas I had to chisel. The one above is the tenon part of the joint.

This is the mortis part of the joint.

 

4. MITER JOINT

For this joint, I leveled the band saw at 45 degrees so that each joint could join together and make it a 90 degrees joint.

 

 

5. Butt Joint w. Dowels

Using an awe, I marked the wood with three middle points where I would drill holes for the dowels by using a drill press. To get the exact points onto the other dowel, I used pins to mark it. Then in each hole, I put in pre-made dowels.
