|[[Butt joint]]
|[[File:Butt_joint.png|115x115px]]
|The end of a piece of wood is butted against another piece of wood. This is the simplest and weakest joint. Of those, there is the a) T-butt, b) end-to-end butt, c) Miter butt and d) edge-to-edge butt.
|-
|[[Lap joint]]
|[[File:Woodworking lap joints.svg| 115x115px]]
|The end of a piece of wood is laid over and connected to another piece of wood. Due to a large surface area of long-grain to long-grain wood and glue surface coverage, this is a very strong joint.<ref>Wood Magazine [https://www.woodmagazine.com/woodworking-how-to/doors-drawers/wood-joint-torture-test-2-doors-drawers "Wood Joint Torture Test"]</ref>

|[[Bridle joint]] 
|[[File:Joinery-CornerBriddleJoint.svg| 115x115px]]
|Also known as open tenon, open mortise and tenon, or tongue and fork joints, this joint is where the through mortise is open on one side and forms a fork shape. The mate has a through tenon or necked joint. Bridle joints are commonly used to join rafter tops, also used in [[scarf joint]]s and sometimes sill corner joints in timber framing.
|-
|[[Mortise and tenon]]
|[[File:Mortise tenon.png| 115x115px]]
|A stub (the tenon) will fit tightly into a hole cut for it (the mortise). This is a hallmark of [[Mission Style Furniture|Mission Style furniture]], and also the traditional method of jointing [[frame and panel]] members in many designs. Can be considered a fully-encapsulated Bridle Joint. Very popular and strong, with variations for the tenon design, appearance, and mechanical pressure.
|-
|[[Dowel joint]]
|[[File:Woodworking-joint-butt-dowel.gif| 115x115px]]
||The end of a piece of wood is butted against another piece of wood. This is reinforced with [[dowel]] pins. This joint is quick to make with production line machinery and so is a very common joint in factory-made furniture.
|-
|[[Dowel#Metal dowel|Cross dowel joint]]
|[[File:Cross_dowel_cutaway.png| 115x115px]]
||A threaded metal [[dowel]] is inserted into a drilled slot. A screw is then inserted through an opposing slot and tightened to create a pull effect. This type of join is a very common joint in factory-made furniture.
|-
|[[Mitre joint]]
|[[File:Mitre-joint.png|115x115px]]
|Similar to a butt joint, but both pieces have been beveled (usually at a 45-degree angle).
|-

|-
|[[Dado (joinery)|Dado joint]]
|[[File:Dado joint.png| 115x115px]]

|-
|[[Groove (joinery)|Groove joint]]
|[[File:Woodworking-joint-groove.gif| 115x115px]]
|Like the dado joint, except that the slot is cut with the grain. Sometimes referred to interchangeably with the dado joint.
|-
|[[Tongue and groove]]
|[[File:Dusheme.jpg| 115x115px]]
|Each piece has a groove cut all along one edge, and a thin, deep ridge (the tongue) on the opposite edge. If the tongue is unattached, it is considered a [[spline joint]].
|-
|[[Birdsmouth joint]]
|[[File:BirdsMouthJoint.svg| 115x115px]]
|Also called a ''bird's beak cut'', this joint used in [[roof construction]]. A V-shaped cut in the [[rafter]] connects the rafter to the wall-plate.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sawdustmaking.com/woodjoints/misc.htm|title=Miscellaneous Joints|website=sawdustmaking.com|access-date=5 May 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171028175738/http://sawdustmaking.com/woodjoints/misc.htm|archive-date=28 October 2017}}</ref>
