Wood Fixings

Fixings can be used for a number of home improvement projects.

The basic methods of attaching wood pieces to each other have evolved through centuries of wood working.

The most common type of fixing used in woodworking is called the finish nail. Finish nails have a much smaller head than the common nail, making them easy to recess below the surface of the wood.

There are numerous other variations of fixings, like:

• Nuts
• Nails
• Bolts
• Screws

Nuts and bolts are essential equipment that is for furniture work.

Screws are typically used to join or anchor a surface section such as a tabletop to frame the pieces.

Machine fasteners like pop rivets and anchors are also quite commonly used in woodworking today.

Specialty fasteners such as: machine screws, threads, lugs, washers, rivets and gunscrews are available in many different sizes, metric included.

Fasteners & Screws

Fixings and screws are the most used supplies for furniture work. The variations of fixings and nails to choose from are long, including:

• Common
• Oval Head
• Duplex Head
• Large Flathead

With fixings, stainless screws have more holding power than nails, and have the additional advantage of being easy to remove.

In fact, nails are not generally used except to pin a joint or for authenticity.

Fixings should include aliphatic resin which is the most widely used woodworking adhesive, commonly marketed in magazines as wood glue or carpenters glue.

Adhesive tape is another alternative where convenience is more important than a really strong bond.
