Course Description

The joinery window uses six different boards to create nine different joints. These nine joints will teach all the skills needed to make almost any point in the world. This project was traditionally used as a test to see the quality of joints a person could create. most people can make any one of these joints, but to make all nine come together is a whole different level of skilled work.
