What is a Joint?

In the context of woodworking and cabinetry, a joint refers to the point where two or more pieces of wood are joined together to create a larger structure or component. There are many different types of joints used in woodworking, including butt joints, lap joints, mortise-and-tenon joints, dovetail joints, and many others. The type of joint used depends on the specific application, the type of wood being used, and the desired strength and appearance of the joint.
