Joining Wood – Techniques for Better Woodworking
by Nick Engler 

122 pages published by Rodale Press.

Possibly the most important task in woodworking is joinery --- attaching one board to another.  There are countless woodworking joints – rabbets, dadoes, dovetails, mortises and tenons – to choose from. Which one do you use? How do you make it? In this book, author Nick Engler simplifies this subject showing how master woodworkers use good sense and a few elementary rules of thumb to produce strong, durable joints.  He also demonstrates how to make dozens of popular woodworking joints, from a simple miter to an elegant through dovetail using just five basic cuts.

The techniques required to make each joint are clearly illustrated, step by step, in over 200 drawings and photographs. There are plenty of shop-tested tips, ingenious jigs and fixtures, useful charts, and inside information to help develop your joinery skills.

Five Complete Project Plans Included: This book also features complete plans and instructions to build five popular projects that combine many of the joinery techniques explained in the text.
