Woodwork Joints: How They Are Set Out, How Made and Where Used.

by William Fairham

This type of joint is also used to connect the rail to the leg of an ordinary kitchen table (see [Fig. 167]).

Fig. 133.—Occasional Stump Tenon.

[Fig. 133] is a variation of the stump tenon, occasionally used where the work in hand demands a thin tenon and a stout stump to take heavy strains.

Fig. 135.—Haunched Barefaced Tenon.

A joint used for inside framing is seen at [Fig. 134]. The rails may be used as shown, but in the case of a door frame (as [Fig. 132]) they would have the inside edges grooved to receive the panels; the tenons would therefore be slightly narrower than shown, owing to the groove at each edge.

A Haunched Barefaced Tenon, used in similar positions to [Fig. 131], is shown at [Fig. 135]. The door or frame in this case would be made of matchboarding nailed on the back as shown in the plan at [Fig. 127].
