Joinery Techniques-Videos on YouTube

One of the most basic processes in woodworking is to join one piece of wood to another. Whether you do it by hand or by machine, joinery is a skill you need to practice. You could take classes, but if you don't have your own personal master woodworker at your side, watching a video or two on YouTube is a pretty good option.

Check out these three popular videos on joinery:
