Dovetail joints are commonly used to build boxes, drawers, and cabinets. The shape of the tails and pins in the joint make it nearly impossible to break. Glue is used to strengthen the joint but no screws or fasteners are necessary. There are a few different types of dovetail joints, but the most popular is the half-blind dovetail joint (shown in the photo above) and the through dovetail joint. The half-blind version of the dovetail will not show the end grain of the joint from front and is used primarily for drawer faces.

This is not a history lesson, but we are surrounded with antique furniture that’s held together by this joint. I believe the name originally came from the fact that the triangular shape of the joint resembles the tail of a dove.
