Dicobat Explanation: The ISBN for my edition is 2-9504805-3-5, cost 960 F (€146) in 1995. Also exists on CD-ROM. Has a lovely picture (worth 1000 words) of an "embrèvement "avant", découvert". "Embrèvement" is given as "housed joint, housing, notched joint", but you'd need an English woodworking guide or a friendly carpenter to find the exact match for the French term. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 39 mins (2007-11-13 11:06:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If I had to invent a name for it, and based on illustrations in Mitchell's Elementary Course of Building Construction and Drawing of 1938, I'd call it a "bilateral stopped shouldered housing". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 47 mins (2007-11-13 11:15:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Now, if you look at the "haunched mortise and tenon joint" at www.ea.e-renfrew.sch.uk/stlukes/ict/Technical/S3_S4/Wood jo... , we're getting very close. The "embrèvement découvert" is a joint used in carpentry (charpente - roof framing) rather than joinery/cabinetmaking (menuiserie/ébénisterie) and is shown with members meeting at an oblique angle (like rafters meeting a horizontal member), AND the face of mortised member is also partially cut away, in addition to the mortise. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-11-13 11:36:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Looking at Dicobat again, it says that in"charpente", an "embrèvement" is an "assemblage OBLIQUE de deux pièces de bois ; entaille pratiqué dans la piève mortaisée pour servir de butée et soulager le tenon" (because of the oblique force)., while in "menuiserie" it is a linear or right-angled joint. The "découvert" variety applies to "charpente". |

Exposed dado/exposed recess Explanation: Dado est un'assemblage de deux pièces de bois à rainure et à languette, tel que l'une fait saillie sur l'autre. Other meanings are "dap" Entaille faite dans la pièce mortaisée pour renforcer l'assemblage par l'épaulement qu'elle oppose à la pression de la pièce portant tenon. . |
