- Building stuff comes down to attaching one piece of wood to another, and the butt joint is really the starting point. But! There are several ways to make a butt joint, some stronger than others, so let's explore a few options.

I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle ruclips.net/user/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.
You're the only woodworking channel that isnt annoying. Straigt to the point and you dont assume I everything
One of the advantages to getting up early for work is being able to see your videos right away. Thank you for not only demonstrating the joints but showing that they can last when done right.
Oh thank you Kevin :)
You are so kind!
Thank you.
My options are:
to go buy a vice;
A Kreg pocket hole jig;
Or to search my garage for the Bessey clamp.
:)
Thanks a bunch for all the tips, Linn! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks MC for always giving such nice comments.
Thank you for this video, i will try dowel plugs :)
Great explantion and very useful presentation, congratulations.
Thanks David!
OMG. I knew if I kept looking I would find what I was looking for. Straightforward. ✔️
Nice presentation - especially seeing the projects which used the various fastening methods. I tend to use dowels and glue over screws or nails, although the last thing I built (a Dutch tool chest) used cut nails and I am pretty happy with how easy it was and how well it seems to be holding up. I hope this is the start of a series on joinery; your live stream was very enjoyable.
Thanks John, really nice to hear you enjoyed the livestream. Actually love the idea of cut nails, and it's so appropriate for a Dutch tool chest. And yes, working on a whole bunch of joinery videos to come!
My personal favorite is building lightweigth furniture and such. To do this I like to use aluminium frames with blind riveted thin plywood sheets. The resulting furniture is incredibly light, strong and in my opinion very decorative and masculine if you use more metal, leather and glass pieces.
So happy you decided to leave the work bench oriented 90degrees to the wall (after you planed it back to get that nice blond surface again). This layout/setup for the workshop videos looks great. And natural light!!! for the win.
I've really been liking the setup actually. Feels different, but better for a lot of tasks.
You could also try using angel brackets
I use screws a lot...I like using wood and pin nailer most.
Hi, mech. engineer here, here are the basics for any joynery, no matter if it´s wood metal or anything else. Always remember them.
Any join falls into 3 main categories + if it´s permanent or not:
- Material (adhesion and cohesion forces): examples --> welding, gluing, soldering etc.
- Force (clamping forces): examples --> lashing strap
- Geometry (traditional wood working joints): examples --> tenon and mortise, dovetail, etc.
Each of those is also divided weather or not it can be disassembled (screws) or not (weld, glue).
This already shows you that combining multiple methods would make sense like screws + glue, thus the nails or pocket holes are mainly for clamping force and fixation during glue up, the main performance comes from the glue joint itself. So always remember which kind of glue you use, regular wood glue will dissolve outside the rain for instance etc.
Also know that wood is not isometric, which means it has different strength in different directions (grain structure), there are many materials which experience this behavior, even sheet metal has a direction which it should NOT be bend at.
Understanding the fundamentals is most important, once you know how wood works and what kind of joints there are category wise and why you are golden and can deduct most other stuff yourself, for example why it makes sense to not screw along one single sing (wood will split along this line) or why pocket joins have angle of 15° or so (isotropic behavior again).
And also that that every joint has it´s raison d'être, there are not bad or good joints there are useful joints for your use case or not.
You can also create your own joints, say like gluing a dowel first into soft wood and then putting a screw into the dowel instead of the soft wood. This is just one example of many many many examples out there.
5:15 is that an old mayo bottle? That’s a really clever idea
It is!
I like nails the most. If you drive them at angle, I think it helps. Also, using bamboo skewers is nice too. Same thing drive them at an angle. I heard the bamboo swells a lot because of the glue. John Heisz had interesting video using painters tape to mark dowel joints. Thank you for all your great videos. Also, thank you for letting people know there nothing wrong with a but joint & actually it might be the most practical solution in many cases.
Bamboo skewers is kind of a cool idea! And yes, driving the nails in at an angle also makes a lot of sense.
Miller dowels are also interesting. I haven’t had a chance to try them, but it is on my list.
Great Job Nicely Done 😉👍🏽📐🪚🔨📝
Thank you! 👍
Have become a real fan of pocket screws, also like dowels. Mostly because my joinery skills are not quite there yet.
That's great. Get's the job done!
not to be a nuisance, but shouldnt the pocket screws go he other way round ie. towards the meat of the wood, not the end of boards?
They are supposed to hit the other board across the grain, which she did. The one thing that can be important is to use panhead screws, often sold as pocket screws to prevent any splitting that can happen from a tapered head.
