tenon joiner The mortise is the hole chiseled and cut into one piece of wood, while the tenon is the tongue or protruding element shaped from another piece of wood so that it fits into the mortise: and another small hole is then drilled (with the auger) through the mortised end and the tenon so that a whittled peg can secure the joint thus the term ‘joiner.” Panels were fitted into slots on the basic frames This kind of construction was used for making everything from houses to chests Relatively little hardware was used during this period Some nails - forged by hand - were used, but no screws or glue Hinges were often made of leather, but metal hinges were also used The cruder varieties were made by blacksmiths in the colonies But the finer metal elements were imported Locks and escutcheon plates -
