Joinery
Many people ask, “How is joinery different from carpentry?” Joiners are craftsmen who join wood, usually in a workshop or factory, and who are dedicated to the production of items that are added to the project at the end of the construction process, such as furniture and decoration. In a nutshell, joinery is the manufacturing of objects, usually in a workshop, to be installed after the construction is finished, while carpentry is the woodwork involved in the daily routine of a construction site providing the necessary support for the various tasks.
A joiner is an artisan and tradesperson who builds things by joining pieces of wood, particularly lighter and more ornamental work than that done by a carpenter, including furniture and the "fittings" of a house, ship, etc. Some common outputs of joinery include Basic Butt Joint, Dado Joint, Mortise and Tenon Joints, Dowel Joints and so on.
