    This document discusses two types of wood joints used to construct a gazebo: lap joints and mortise and tenon joints. Lap joints involve removing equal amounts of wood from both pieces to be joined, while mortise and tenon joints are stronger and require cutting a mortise hole and fitting a corresponding tenon for a secure connection. Adhesives and bolts/nuts are also joinery materials that can be used, with adhesives providing a strong bond when surfaces are smooth and uniformly coated, and bolts/nuts offering strength for heavy duty applications.

    WOOD JOINT WORK

    There are two types of wood joint work that we use in making this gazebo, which is lap joint and mortise and tenon joint.

    Lap Joint (Tee)


    In lap joints, equal amounts of wood are removed from both the pieces to be joined. Lap joints are easy to layout, using a try square and a marking gauge. The layout can also be made by lapping the pieces to be joined and along the edges of one piece, marking lines on the other. Here also, while laying out the joints, follow the procedure suggested for sawing and removing the waste stock. If the joint is found to be too tight, it is better to reduce the width of the mating piece, instead of trimming the shoulder of the joint. This type of joint is used for small boxes to large pieces of furniture.

    Mortise and Tenon Joint (Plain)


    It is supposed as strong joint and requires considerable skill to make. It is commonly used in the construction of quality furniture. The following are the stages involved in the work : i. Mark the mortise and tenon layouts. ii. Cut the mortise first by drilling a series of holes within the layout lines, chiseling out the waste stock and trimming the corners and sides. iii. Prepare the tenon by cutting and chiseling. iv. Check the tenon size against the mortise that has been prepared and adjusted it if necessary.

    Joinery Material
    Besides that, we also use others joinery materials. Which is adhesive and bolts and nuts. The joinery materials are used to join the processed/ finished wooden pieces or wooden pieces with other materials.

    Adhesive
    Sometimes adhesive may be used to make the joint stronger. Glued joint, if properly fitted becomes the strongest part. Today, a great variety of adhesives are available to the craftsman for the purpose. Ideally, surfaces to be glued should be smooth. Maximum joint strength is developed when the glue film wets the surface to be connected, completely and uniformly and is free of foreign matter.

    Bolts and Nuts

    These are the strongest joinery materials and are used for heavy articles or when high strength is required. These are preferable if large holes can be made on wood without disturbing the strength of the wood.
