The Joint Book

the Complete Guide to Wood Joinery
Feb 27, 2018js_rom rated this title 3.5 out of 5 stars
Nice handy reference to build every practical joint. The book is small and ring-bound, in almost-pocket format. Every joint is covered on two pages. For each there is a picture or illustration, some nomenclature and some text describing each possible variation of it. The complex joints have one page of step-by-step instructions on how to assemble or clamp the joint, and the steps are accomplished mostly with handtools (some use a router, some a table saw. but mostly handtools). Each step is a drawing, showing projections (with dotted lines), parallel lines, angles, and grain direction -- they are very clear. Beatiful compact reference.
