Wood and furniture: joiner basics

📖 Lesson ──▶ 🎯 Quiz — pick the translation ──▶ ✅ Lesson done

The joiner works with wood: solid (oak, beech, spruce), boards (chipboard — cheap, for carcasses), MDF (smooth — for painting). Joints: screws+dowels, wood glue (PVA — stronger than wood), groove+tongue (classic), lamellos. Saws: circular saw, jigsaw (curves), handsaw. The rule: "never toward you, always away".

●Wood moisture ~8–12% for furniture: wet wood warps indoors
●Wood glue fills the joint and holds stronger than wood — but not metal
●Sand along the grain: across leaves scratches forever

🟦 The German joiner makes furniture, windows, stairs — "everything from wood". The Meister business is protected: only a Meister may run the firm.
