The success of a project lies in woodworking joinery. Usually, the joint is stronger if the joining of wood is made intricate. For this reason, woodworkers decide ahead of time the type of joints they will use while still in the stage of planning. The joining of woods is basically needed in creating different structures of furniture and toys. Some needed the use of adhesives, bindings and fasteners. Other woodworking joints only use wood elements. The distinctiveness of joints which are its appearance, flexibility, strength and toughness lies in the joining materials and its properties and how effective they are being used in the wood joints.

There are simple and difficult joints. A Butt Joint is a simple kind of joining two wood pieces. This may be connected from the edge of one wood to the edge of another wood or at the corner of the wood. Then it is made stronger with the use of glue, screws or blocks.

The joint seen on bookshelves is called the Dado Joint. One piece of wood receives a dado type of cut and it will be attached to the other end of the next piece of wood.

Drill in two pieces of wood aligning holes. After this, dowels should be glued in place to make the joining tight. This is called the Dowel Joint.

A joint wherein a rabbet is cut in the piece that overlaps the other piece to create a gluing surface to the simple pattern of butt joint is called the Lap Joint. The rabbet also adds strength to the joining of woods.

Different woodworking joinery techniques are required to accomplish differing requirements. An example of this is that the joining of materials to construct a house is not the same with the joinery of making puzzle toys, though there are concepts that are quite the same.
