You will learn how to make L-shaped rabbet joints, mortises and tenons, dadoes and grooves, gluing and clamping, joint reinforcements, and much more.
Valuable hints tell you how to use routers, band saws, and other power tools to make strong wooden joints, and a special section is devoted to making dovetails, butterflies, inlays, and other decorative joints.
