    All joints will be completed in groups and analysed in terms of fit for purpose/durability , ease of construction and materials used.

    TASK

    We will make a series of test joints.

    Finger joint

    Dowel joint 

    Lap Joint

    Use a table to compare the joints against each other. What is your conclusion? Write a brief conclusion which talks about which approach you will use and why?

    Tests: tool impact test, drop test, water test and stain test.

    materials: MDF/ pine/dowel

    Material properties will be documented in photos and video.
