Choosing The Right Sort Of Joinery In Sydney For Your Next Project
When we think of joinery in Sydney, our thoughts often stray first to the names of the different joints commonly used – biscuit, mortise and tenon, butt and dovetail are some of the more common ones. What you probably don’t think about, however, is what sort of objects or pieces these joints create when they are made. It is highly important that you choose your joinery based on its application.
- Workbenches: unlike the joints used in fine furniture making, the creation of workbenches and other similar surfaces can utilise much rougher and simpler joinery systems.
- Boxes: strength and appearance are equally important and the more interlocking joints are used to counteract the thinner wood used for these applications.
- Cabinets: there are a number of components that make up a cabinet (such as the carcase, the face frame and the doors), each using different types joinery in Sydney.
- Drawers: this is the most complicated sort of joinery that a professional will ever have to tackle and, as such, utilises the absolute strongest of all the joints.
Whilst there are a number of different joints out there to choose from, it is of the utmost importance that you look at the ultimate application of your project before choosing what sort will be right for your needs. There is no point, for example, in putting a whole lot of work into a simply workbench, or in using subpar joinery in Sydney for an intricate drawer. Choose your joinery wisely and reap the rewards.
