Woodworking Joinery Educational Content

Over 40 years ago, I attended a technical high school and I took the cabinetmaking and carpentry course for several years.  The very first thing that I was taught by the master woodworker who taught the course was how to use hand tools and to do basic joinery.  The following content covers 16 basic joints that were made with only blocks of pine, a plane, handsaw, hand drill and a chisel.  Enjoy!

Joint #3 - Dado
