BOX (FINGER) JOINT
A similar joint, called a box or finger joint, has straight
protrusions called fingers on both boards. This joint is used
on jewelry boxes and other small boxes. The box joint is
strong because it has a large surface area for glue.
The Sliding Dovetail consists of a dovetail-shaped dado
in one board and a dovetail-shaped tenon in the other
board. This method is a strong way of connecting fixed
shelves to walls.
