Joggle Joints. In masonry, stones or other bodies fitted together, 

 especially in arch-work, to prevent them from sliding down- 

 wards. In carpentry, the struts of a roof are said to be 

 joggled into the ti-ass-posts and into the rafters. 



Joiner. The man who joins substances together in a popular 

 sense, " wood " or " timber." His old name was " House- 

 wright " or " Tree-wright " ; his fellow, the cabinet-maker, 

 was the " Chest -wright " or " Ark-wright." "Joiner" is 

 glossed by " carpenter," an imported term from our Latin 

 neighbours. In composition, as in " Joiner's bench," 

 " Joiner's stool," " Joiner's chest," " Joiner's tools," 

 " hammer," " mallet," etc., it has a wide field as a prefix. 



Joiner's and Box-maker's Cross-cut Saw Benches are provided 

 with an easily traversed table, by means of which boards and 

 planks are moved past a cross-cut saw. 



Joiner's Boards. Specially selected planed boards suitable for 

 joinery purposes. 



Joiner's Deals. First and second quality sawn deals, specially 

 selected as suitable for the manufacture of joinery. 



Joiner's Saw Benches have a rising and falling motion to the 

 table, and are used for similar work to that done on a groov- 

 ing and rebating bench. 



Joinery. The finished hand work of the joiner as an operator 

 in wood. His labour, light and heavy, is now mostly per- 

 formed by machinery, which dxiring the last fifty years has 

 revolutionized his trade, " machine-made joinery '' being 

 the order of the day in this century, the " joiner " (which see) 

 being now practically the " fixer." 



Joint. The interstices between the stones or bricks in masonry, 

 brickwork, and timber work are called joints. The act of 

 joining timbers or sawn wood together, the main perform- 

 ance of a joiner, has furnished his trade-name. 



Joisting. Converted wood suitable for joists. In the hard- wood, 

 or oak days, of the building trade, the sections were usually 

 squares ; in soft-wood, of less bearing power, the depths, 

 rouglily speaking, are double or treble the thickness. See 

 " Joists." 



Joists. The pieces of timber to which the boards of a floor or the 

 laths of a ceiling are nailed, and which rest on the walls or on 

 girders, sometimes on both. The wood or timber collec- 

 tively is known as " joisting " (which see). 



Jungle. In the tropics, land covered with forest trees or less im- 

 posing objects, from brushwood to creeping plants.
