Doweling
A dowel is used to reinforce a simple joint. A hole is drilled in both adjoining pieces of wood. A small piece of wood shaped like a thick nail (a 'dowel') the same size as the two holes is inserted in the first piece and glued. After drying the piece are fitted together with the dowel slipping into the second hole. The dowels reinforce the joint and prevent twisting.
