the best joint is the cheese that sticks two nachos together! Its edible!
OMG! You expect viewers to actually THINK?!?!?!? Does YT allow that?
The why is important!
Great job
This was very helpful, thanks!
Nice video
My favourite joint is Beef, with Yorkshire Pudding! LOL.
A rolling joint is called a hinge! 🙂
you have on a “you matter” shirt and so you get a little tongue in cheek humor, “we always live in 3 dimensional world…” hold it there geek boy, “you know we live in a 4 dimensioanal world where wood changes in time…” until you ar snoring in disbelief of being called out about such a non-important to content point… ok, please continue.
Good stuff.
Love your videos. Would love it if you got sponsored at least for basic tools, or if you carried more of your own beginner stuff. I often spend too much time researching for the most basic thing and then am never sure (chisels, basic saws, marking tools and squares).
you should change your channel name to Wood by Wright Why 2 LOL
I’m planning to build a maple ply shelf. I want a short (1/2"-3/4") walnut surround, to keep things from rolling away &, to hide the ply edge. I’m thinking dado or rabbit for shelf, but I’m stumped on the walnut corners.
What a fabulous treatise on joinery! VERY informative at the level I enjoy. I don’t need a matrix of joints and uses, I need "here’s what each joint does," so I can apply that knowledge to whatever I’m doing.
WHat’s REALLY funny is not the search term, it’s that YT returns YOU as the answer to it! 🙂
Rollin, Rollin, Rollin… Keep them joints a Rollin… 🙂
fantastic explanation for the "why" and the caveat that sometimes just choose a joint because it’s fun or you want to!
“ We have the technology! “
Excellent video! The "why’s" are always the most important thing to understand when learning any craft, and you explained the "why" perfectly!
I think this is going to be awesome
In my humble opinion, the best joint is always the one in my left hand…..
A little reefer humor for the end credits! Thank you as always James,

Great analysis!
To paraphrase: 3 dimensions X 2 directions on each X 2 options of grain match = 12 joint families, plus variability if things aren’t all at right angles. Now go figure out what constraints your application needs.
A couple more complications are worth noting, though. Michael Ramirez is right that rotation is a "direction", and I think racking can be thought of that way, too, since angular stress within a joint is not accounted for within the 3 dimensions X 2 directions conceptualization.
Loved the video. Thanks.
Now I feel a little better about the mortise and Tennant joint on the banister my daughter wants me to build
I’m still confused about how to transfer all the force to the ground for my porch swing that is suspended by four helicopters
I like it! I liked it a lot… Please more many!
This is great! I’ve been thinking a lot about joinery because I’m getting ready to make some things for the house that I want to be nicer than the shop storage I’ve done so far. This reminded me to stop over thinking!
Wait…people can think on their own?? Wow!! 😊 😃 😀 love you, Bud!
At the 10m20s mark (and a few others), what is that species of wood (the striated one), prominently in the centre of the frame?
Actually we have more than 3 dimentions in our world. Euklidesian metrics which applies the best for the constructional purposes has 3 dimentions. Btw. I love your work. I am just the math guy 😉
Well! Since you offered…
I have a question that’s like a joint question, but it’s about a joint. At some point, I need to make a set of document shelves (I know posting links hides comments so I’ll reply with a link). But unlike a normal document shelf, because of a very specific application I have, they need to be about 5ft by 6ft. I can support three of the four edges, the sides and the back, but of course the front has to be open. I need ALL the space, so there cannot be any center supports. And.. each shelf is going to have to carry about 45lbs..
How do I keep them sagging? I was going to go with plywood, but having done some smaller scale projects recently, that stuff sags under its own weight, never mind holding nearly 50lbs with an unsupported 6ft span. I don’t even know if going to aluminium would work and that would be really expensive. I think I saw a video once where someone was making a big book case with a similar problem that like.. routed slots to put bar still ‘vertically’ in the front and back and maybe that would work with a third going through the center, too.. but yeah…
Any nifty ideas? O.o
Fantastic explanation, James! 😃
Thanks a lot!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
6:32 breadboard…:(
Great video. Thanks.
One more direction is rotation, which becomes relevant with round mortise/tenon.
Great explanation! Well done.
Well done! Food for much thought
James : any videos on breadboard with close ends and the good way to make them ?
Thanks, very good description of how to make the decisions.
True. Teach the why and the how. Give a practical example and explain why it works. The how gets you started. The why gets you far.
That is exactly how I choose my joints but it’s the first time that I see this kind of explanation in a video and therefore this video has a great value for woodworker at every level. Thank you very much for that. What I do is I first choose the direction that need to be constrained and then search something that does it and that I think will look good to me in the particular project !!! Sometimes the "how in the world can you cut that?" also enter into consideration but there is usually an answer to that on youtube
