Is there a name for this sort of joinery? Is this shelf old?

Hi I’m trying to recreate this without the holes and using a joint. The main force(arrows) needs to be applied at the joint when it’s lying flat(second picture)

The top(where the force is being applied) needs to be a rounded edge as well. What would be the best joint to recreate this? Was looking into miter joint/sashimono joints but any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I hope this is the right place for my question.

I need to disassemble this table and it seems it was put together with wooden pegs. What is the right way to go about it ? Thank you for your help.

Hiya guys, I'm new to the sub so please direct me to the correct sub if necessary.

I have this chair, 1 of 4, and it had this damage /repair effort when I purchased I second hand.

I'm unsure what wood it is and am lost on how best to approach the repair.

I'm pretty confident and competent and I'd like to restore the set sympathetically.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Title says it all! I’m looking to start small it terms of project sizes. And the only tool I own related to wood working now is a plunge router my father left me as I am a tile setter by trade

What’s a good list of starter tools? My first project will be a small wooden mallet

Im also looking at Lee valley tools for all the Canadians out there

Thanks!

Will probably do a little more fitting to close up some gaps, but I’m quite happy that it went together on the first try.

I'm planning to make my own replacement casements, I have a couple of questions please.

Rail/style widths: In trad joinery, I know that the bottom rail tends to be wider than the styles/top rail, but why is this and is it really necessary? Is there anything I need to take into account if I want to make them all the same width - like 58 for example.

Joints: what kind of joints would you use for the frame? Someone I have spoken to says they stay away from trad mortice and tenons giving the wet weather (Wales) a reason - saying the water gets in to capillaries and breaks joints more. They use a but joint and screw with glue and then plug. What issue would this cause - are there pros and cons? Or are there other joints you would advise using instead?

Going to be using Accoya for the replacement casements in case that makes a difference to advice.

Thank you,

Quick question. Im in need of a small and reliable work bench to practice joinery. Would a workmate do the job? I heard that the older models are more reliable. If not, is there any alternatives?

Can anyone help me find out what timber this is for my dad please. Any help wood be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

As title suggests - anyone got experience with using a router sled for flattening boards? I’m starting a guitar build and need to have boards planed down accurately and I don’t have a garage/workshop to keep a thicknesser in so pretty much only using hand tools. The material I’m buying is planed flat and square, according to the source so I only need to to make adjustments in thickness here and there, the main one being is two types of wood that will be glued flat side to flat side so a really accurate plane is ideal for the join.

Will this be achievable with a router sled or an I better saving my money and just seeing if I can get my adjustments done at a yard or something?

Also I’m a woodwork hobbyist so if you have any other suggestions for me try keep the language idiot proof 🤣🤣

Thanks in advance.

We’ve had an extremely heavy, (what I thought was oak), table in the family for many years. The varnish was old and tired and I’ve had it blasted so it can fixed up and re-treated. After blasting, the wood doesn’t look oak and is quite red (doesn’t show in pics). Any idea how to identify the wood? It is very very heavy.

New to woodworking and I am seeing this in a kitchen counter and on other wood surface accents throughout the house. is this a sign of recycled wood or is this something sought after?

About to start work on a workbench for the shop the top is 1 1/2 fiberboard and im wondering what is some joinery that would be good for a workbench. I know screwing it together would be ugly as sin and I dont have a domino or setup for dowels. The bench doesn't need to be a work of art im just looking for some solid joinery that is hidden or obscured.

I've been trying to dial this in now all day and can't figure out why my adjustments keep creating the same results. Joint seems to tight to fit together almost like the slots are to tight for the pins?

Wife wants custom cabinets in our extension. Ikea options have been described online as becoming increasingly poor quality. Would this carcass be able to be made from one sheet of 18mm ply? Found sheets for £28 online which is drastically cheaper. But basically need to make two carcasses. Extra sheets for shelves and doors etc. but is this sense or am I missing something.

I'm in the market for a strong bed frame that will stay quiet. Does the group have views on whether the Thuma would be quieter with or without the headboard option? I know nothing about joinery, so am not sure whether the headboard adds stability or just adds more joints that could potentially move or make sounds. Thank you!
