1 Name: Date Completed: Activity Joinery, Fastener, Adhesive, Welding & Bonding Identification Introduction When you look at a fine piece of furniture, such as a chair with many different parts, it is sometimes hard to determine how the pieces were put together. The same is true of a wooden candlestick holder that has been made by joining many different pieces of wood and then turning the candlestick on a wood lathe to look like a single piece of wood. How does someone securely join the wooden components together? How does someone decide on which method of joinery is best for the application? How do people determine whether they should use hardware, such as nails, adhesive, such as glue, interlocking wood joints, or a combination of those? All of the questions will begin to be answered as you study about the various wood joinery techniques used in basic materials processing. This knowledge will be helpful when you disassemble a product to see how it works. By thoroughly understanding wood joinery techniques, you can understand how a product was designed and made; if you are lucky, you may be able to prevent damage to the product as it is disassembled. In the Activity Joinery, Fastener, Adhesive, Welding & Bonding Identification, you will learn about various wood fasteners and adhesives. In Wood Joinerm Identification, you learned about how woods are joined using such joints as a dovetail, Mortise and tenon, or miter joint. These joints, depending on how they will be used, require the use of fasteners and adhesives when assembled. Depending on how a product needs to be assembled, there are many types of wood fasteners and adhesives that can applied. The type of fastener or adhesive used often depends on how the product will be used as well as whether it is designed to be taken apart easily. By your thorough understanding wood of fasteners and adhesives, product assembly or disassembly can be accomplished. You will classify various wood fasteners and adhesives used in basic materials processing. This knowledge will be helpful when you disassemble a product to see how it works. In other activities, you will learn about fasteners and adhesives of other materials, such as metals and plastics Take a few minutes to look around you. Can you find a metal object that was made without fasteners or an adhesive? How about the trashcan in your room? How is it held together? What about your teacher s filing cabinet? In the future, you may want to design similar types of products metal products without mechanical fasteners or adhesives. This activity will provide you the opportunity to learn about various metal joining processes used in metal assembly. This knowledge will be helpful to you as you learn more about how metals are joined and when you disassemble a product. Are all fasteners and adhesives the same? Can they be used on different materials? Some can, but how will you know which ones? In the next Activity, you learned about fasteners and adhesives appropriate for wood products. But what if you were designing something out of metal, such as a new mailbox? How would you fasten the pieces together? This activity will provide you the opportunity to recognize and classify various metal fasteners and adhesives used in metal assembly. This knowledge will be helpful when you complete a product disassembly later in this class. By thoroughly understanding metal fasteners and adhesives, you will be able to understand how a product should be designed.

2 When you hear the word welding, what material comes to mind? Most of us think metal, but did you know that plastic can be welded as well? When you look at a plastic product, it is not always easy to determine how a plastic product is welded. Most often, the seams appear transparent; it is not evident where the weld is. In this activity, you will explore and identify five different welding procedures used in plastic assembly. As a product designer, you may design a product that would benefit from one of these plastic welding procedures. Many products today are made from plastic. How can plastic parts be fastened and bonded securely so that the product stays together even under daily usage? Take a cell phone, for instance. What material is the case? If it is a flip phone, how is it hinged? Have you ever dropped your cell phone? Did it survive the impact? What if the hinge broke after a month of use? As you can see, choosing the correct fastener and bonding techniques is crucial to the life of a product and its success. Today s product designers must understand and be able to apply effective plastic fastening and bonding techniques. The information you gain from this activity will be important to use during the design of a product and during the remainder of this lesson. Wood Joinery Matching Worksheet PART 1 DIRECTIONS: Match the correct joint on the left to its definition using the list on the right. a. A joint where one piece of wood is crossed over another. Butt joint b. Butt joint that is reinforced with football- or lozenge-shaped wooden discs that swell to creating a tight joint. Biscuit joint c. Joinery technique where an L groove across the end of one edge of one piece of wood fits into an edge or end of another board with an L groove. Dovetail joint d. Joint created when two boards are cut at an angle to one another; most commonly used is a 45-degree angle. Finger joint e. Joinery technique where the cut end from one board fits into the matching opening on another. Lap joint f. Joining two boards in which alternating slots and protrusions resembling the v-shaped outline of a bird's tail are snugly fitted together. Miter joint g. Joint commonly used in industry to extend lumber or create wider boards. Mortise-and-Tenon joint h. Joint where one piece is grooved to receive the piece which forms the other part of the joint. Rabbet joint i. Joint where two wedge-shaped pieces of wood have been cut to correspond to one another. Scarf joint j. Easy but often weak techniques for joining two boards together simply by gluing and pressing two flat surfaces together.

3 PART 2 Biscuit Dado DIRECTIONS: Match the correct joinery reinforcement on the left to its definition using the list on the right. a. Thin piece of wood that fits in the mating grooves cut into two pieces of wood. b. Groove which is cut across the grain to receive the butt end or edge of a second piece. Mortise c. Rectangular, stepped recess cut along the edge of a section of wood. Rabbet Spline Tenon d. Opening chiseled, drilled or routed into a board to receive the end of an intersecting board. e. The end of a board, cut to a specific size and shape, is inserted into the opening in a second board. f.small, flat lozenge-shaped dowel for edge or corner-jointing that are fitted into slots within a joint.
