aufgelegt = overlapping, durchgesteckt = box-joint Explanation: with 'aufgelegt' I must confess that there may be another technical term, but it doesn't occur to me at the moment. for 'durchgesteckte', 'box-joint' is the standard term |

aufgelegt = lay-on joint Explanation: Ernst, Wörterbuch der industriellen Technik (don't know how I could live without it...) gives, specifically for Zangengelenke, lay-on joint. HTH |

comment on Ernst Explanation: that sounds susupiciously like a literal translation to me, rather than an equivalent. I can assure you that if you try 'lay-on joint' in NA, you will get a blank stare in return. Also, look at www.bramec.com/pages/15185.htm |

Cross Halving Joint, Mortice and Tenon Explanation: These are two methods of joining pieces of wood at right angles. The simpler joint (cross halving) consists of reducing the thickness of each piece locally so that they fit together level with each other. the higher quality joint (mortice and tenon) consists of one piece being reduced from both sides to about half its thickness (the tenon) and a rectangular hole (the mortice) being drilled and chiseled through the other. I learned these joints, and others, in Woodwork "O" level at school back in the late 50s, and have used them ever since. Regards, Iain. |
