How To Identify A Good Piece Of Joinery

Joinery is one of the major investments involved in setting up house. Doors, windows, cabinets, chairs and tables... the list of wooden items used in the average household is a long one indeed.

However, customers are very prone to getting cheated if they do not have the knowhow necessary to identify a well-done piece of work.

The most common joints used in joinery are the mortise and tenon, and the dovetail. Both of these are highly secure, and will hold up to huge amount of pressures when made correctly. It is much more common for wood to slowly rot or splinter than it is for joints to give way.

Badly made joinery can have one of several defects:

The joints may be ill-fashioned. Apply the maximum possible pressure on the joints of the piece of joinery - rocking on a chair, for instance. If the joint shows signs of wobbling, twisting or makes squeaking sounds, reject it immediately.
Glue may be stuck to the wrong areas. No glue should be visible in a well-made piece of joinery. All glue is along the insides, and should leave no trace of its presence by the time the joinery is ready for purchase
The wood may be misaligned. When two pieces of wood are joined, their grain should lie parallel to each other. This prevents it from becoming brittle, developing cracks or outright splitting due to heat expansion or water absorption

Apart from the quality of the joinery, the wood itself should be of the best variety for your budget. The most durable of woods - oak, teak and mahogany to name a few - are extremely expensive, so you may need to opt for a cheaper option. Idigbo, for example, can be given an "oak finish" that resembles the original article very closely.

Softwood is also highly popular for furniture, but tends to absorb more water and dent more easily. Engineered wood, on the other hand, has extremely high tensile strength, and is treated to prevent it from pest damage. Splitting and warping is minimized, making the finished article highly durable.

No matter how good the material and joinery, every piece of woodwork needs regular maintenance. Do not let your wooden items or fixtures be immersed in water for any length of time, and try to keep dampness to a minimum. There are varnishes in the market that protect wood from damp, and ensure that the color and texture stays fast for at least a year after application.

Properly made and finished joinery can last for several years - long enough for the owner to get tired of it and want a change anyway! A trusted joinery company can give you the goods to keep you going for a lifetime, or as long as you wish!

How can I safely remove the wood trim from my armoire?

I want to remove the top and bottom trim so i will fit in my apartment, then put it back on. It is a teak armoire, and the trim seems to be glued in place along with some tiny nails, and its not super secure....do i need someting to soften up the glue? can i just pry it off??

Just take your time and wiggle the trim untill the glue and nails start to give. Be sure to pull the nails out through the back of the trim othrwise you will splinter the trim. You can then reattach the trim. Use wood putty to fill old and new nail holes. If you can't find teak a mahogany may match.

Carbon is one of our favorite elements. It makes diamonds, it makes all known life possible, and it makes pencils (and who doesn't love pencils?) Also, it seems that carbon fullerenes (buckeyballs, nanotubes, etc) are going to do a lot in our future.
