CHAPTER VII.
THE COMMON JOINTS.
Wherever two or more pieces of wood are fastened together we have what is properly called joinery.

In common usage the term indicates the framing of the interior wood finish of buildings and ships, but it is also used to include cabinet-making, which is the art of constructing furniture, and even the trades of the wheelwright, carriage-maker, and cooper.

Since joinery involves the constant use of joints, a reference list of them, with illustrations, definitions, uses, and directions for making typical ones may be of convenience to workers in wood.
HEADING JOINTS _No.1.A lapped and strapped joint_, Fig.

264, p.

177, is made by laying the end of one timber over another and fastening them both together with bent straps on the ends of which are screws by which they may be tightened.
