Tongue and Groove Joint
The tongue and groove joint is commonly used to join planks to increase width. One plank's surface has a tongue, while the other has a groove that fits the tongue. This joint is commonly used in flooring boards, packing cases, table tops, and wall cladding.
How to Make a Tongue and Groove Joint
Procedure:
- Prepare the pieces of wood to the required size, length, width, and thickness.
- Dampen properly on the bench and, using a plane, cut the groove to about one-third of the thickness of the wood.
- Assemble the pieces and remove any excess material. Note that tongue and groove joints are usually not glued, except for special cases like making table tops.
