### Instruction: How can I join two pieces of wood together for making furniture or drawers?
### Response: There are a number of joints which can be used to join wood. Miter joints involve cutting bevels in the wood and joining those bevels together using wood glue, brad nails, or splines. A mortise and tenon joint is made by cutting a hole, mortise, in one piece of wood and an identical sized peg, tenon, in the opposite piece and mating those together with glue or dowels to provide strength.
