Hello. Can someone please direct me to any books/websites/other that deal with woodworking that does not use screws or nails. Many thankses. Jonny
 
Trad woodworking as a whole does not use screws at all except for fixing hardware, or nails except for the unavoidable such as applying matchboard to a frame.
So most books should do!
 
Hi Jonny

That's a very vague and rather odd request for a first post on a woodworking website - asking to be directed to other websites. You are now at one of the most comprehensive sites for most aspects of woodworking! Have you looked at the last ten years' worth of content on here at all?

You could for example visit the Wood Turning section - you won't find much use of screws or nails there. Is that what you meant?

If you are thinking of cabinet making, then General Woodworking and Projects have plenty to offer. Maybe you were thinking of carving? Intarsia work? Marquetry? Scrollwork? Pyrography? You won't need many screws or nails in any of those areas of woodwork.

Why not introduce yourself and explain a bit about the sort of thing that interests you - you'll get much more helpful responses if you do.
 
Well said, AndyT! I've only been a member here a short time, and I'm amazed at what I've learned, just trying to keep up with what's going on day to day.

That reminds me Richard, I have this that I downloaded sometime ago from a link and have reuploaded to my google drive, as I don't know where it came from:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B62KTYe ... MxQkU/edit

230+ pages of woodworking joints.

I agree that's a really useful book - originally published by The Woodworker and fairly widely available. For instance, it's included in the Evenfall Studios Woodworks Librarywhich is listed in the sticky "Free Downloadable Woodworking Books but it's worth drawing attention to as a text on its own, I think.

The best link to use would probably be this one at Archive.org which gives you the choice of reading online or downloading in your preferred e-reader format: http://archive.org/details/woodworkjointsho00fair
