Summary

"There would be no trees without branches, and there would be no furniture without joints."
 
The one which binds together has always been special across cultures. Wood joinery has also evolved across various schools of woodworking in their unique ways. For example, in Japanese joinery, the whole wooden house was built on the strength of joinery. Joinery is used for both connecting the wood and also enhancing the aesthetics of the final product.
 
My Journey:
 
Back in the days when I was starting with Wood Craft, I was desperately looking for the go-to guide about the processes and the tools involved.
 
Woodworking is a vast subject with many branches or verticals of this craft like Cabinet Making, Wood Carving, Joinery, Carpentry, and Woodturning.
 
The online content was information overload and not presented in a sequential manner. The books I referred were either focused on a few processes or assumed that I had the necessary information. Also, I found that most of the books were a little aged.
 
There are two ways of learning; one is learning from subject matter experts who have years of experience, and then there are people who are just a few steps ahead of you in their journey.
 
I am the second one, five years into this hobby, and still learning from the experts.
 
I still remember the initial doubts I had and the tips which helped me.
 
This book comes after Woodworking for Beginners Handbook, and it focusses entirely on the joinery process. This book is for people who are in their first lap (0-3 years) of the wood-crafting journey and want to have a holistic idea of methods, tools and need help in their initial projects.
 
I have included ample photographs of realistic projects of beginners explaining the process and standard operating procedure while starting.
 
In the last chapter, I have provided a glossary of joinery terms and tips for beginners.
 
Below is the flow of the information provided in the book:
 
Introduction to Joinery
 
Joinery tools: Type of tools and how to use them
 
Detailed discussion on 15 types of joinery: advantage,disadvantage,strength,usage etc.
 
Japanese Joinery: Introduction, types, pros, cons, and application
 
CNC wood joinery: Introduction, various kinds of CNC joinery,
 
Five starter joinery projects with step by step instructions
 
Glossary of joinery terms
 
Tips for beginners
 
So, what are you waiting for? As said  in the woodworking community:
 
Measure Twice and Cut Once and let's start the journey.

    Ralph White came to America in the early 1970s while the Vietnam War was still raging. On his Christmas break while teaching courses in Chicago he drove Route 66 to Los Angeles. In the desert of New Mexico he had his first spiritually transcendent experience. He says, “I felt like my mind expanded in consort with the scope of the landscape: seeing the vast stars above, the silence, and just the scale of the landscape.” All this was accompanied by the soundtrack of George Harrison playing My Sweet Lord. “I was having these profound experiences and if they were real then nothing could be more important...I made the decision to follow my heart and investigate.” And his heart took him to Canada, later driving from Vancouver through Central America, ending up in Peru and Ecuador. He received his “life assignment” in Machu Picchu and that was an insight about the need to create a more holistic and ecological world and culture and society. He started the Open Center in New York to do just that. Later, he had many other exciting and enlightening travel experiences including an undercover trek into Tibet and being in Russia during Glasnost. He also shares with us the importance of the teachings of Rudolph Steiner. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
