Crafting joinery and connecting pieces of wood into larger assemblies is one of the most enjoyable parts. Learning different joinery methods can enhance your enjoyment of woodworking and even open up new possibilities. In this course, we'll explore dowels, spline, biscuits, and loose tenons (and dominos). Project parts are joined with pre-made wood connectors that are glued into matching recesses. One benefit of all three of these options is that pieces are cut to size without needing to take the joinery into account. The learning curve is eased by relying on a few essential power tools and specialized jigs.
