Chapter 1

BUTT JOINTS

In its simplest form, joinery is nothing more than a method

for attaching one piece of wood to another. There’s no more

fundamental example of that than the humble 90° butt joint.

My very first woodworking projects featured butt joints; I still

use them today when the project calls for it. As you progress in

your woodworking journey, you will likely move on to some of

the more involved joints covered later in this book, but this is

where it all begins.

It’s important to note that a simple glued 90° butt joint is

inherently weak. The end grain of one of your boards will soak

up most of the glue, rendering the joint ineffective. This is why

much of this chapter focuses on reinforcement methods for

each joint.
