Learning path: Chinese joinery step by step
A suggested order for working through the joints. Each step builds on the one before: start with the plain tenon, then frames and panels, then the corners of tables, and finally curved and knock-down parts.
How to use it
Open each joint, take the 3D model apart, and read “How it works” before the step diagrams. Every joint page in the path has a “Next in the learning path” link at the bottom. For terms, keep the glossary open.
