Woodworking is all about options—especially when it comes to joining two boards together. Ask 10 woodworkers, and you'll get 20 opinions on the right way to do it.
In this video, we’re breaking down some of the best butt joints, when to use them, and—most importantly—how strong they actually are. That means breaking some stuff… all in the name of education, of course.
And yes, there will be dramatic joint failures, questionable decisions, and maybe a few bad puns.
So, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, this video might just change the way you look at butt joints forever. 💪
