ABOUT Joiners and Custom Joinery

Joiners work to create architectural woodwork, doors, windows, stairs etc. Shop and kitchen fitting also are categorized as the remit of a joiner providing the materials used are wood. In the USA joiners are often create things known as "finish carpentry" or "millwork". Joiners are more commonly known as carpenters however they are two different professions. Carpenters often create rough pieces which may not be looked at w here as joiners tend to be more finite in their skills. Joiners aim to create a furniture piece without the use of metal or glue to carry the patch together. Instead the wood is used to create joints which will hold over decades and more than 100 years. Different types of joint are; mortise and tenon, dowel joint and pocket-hole.

Even more finite still will be the cabinet makers. Famous cabinet makers such as for example Thomas Chippendale produced original furniture which has not only stood the test of time because of their design but also through the grade of work. Through the entire 1700's the rich and upper class in Britain would purchase neoclassical and regency style furniture to be tailor made for them from the Chippendale workshop.

This still happens today, furniture could be made to measure either for practical uses or even to be created being an heirloom. Designed to measure furniture, or custom joinery is really a thriving industry as the skills of a joiner are increasingly being lost as generations chose never to take up the profession. They often specialise in one kind of furniture and master their art although most joiners are skilled in making all sorts of furniture and architectural items.

You can find two common forms of joinery, European and Japanese. Also the Chinese have already been using ways of joinery for seven thousand years which create furniture without glue or nails.
