BOX (FINGER) JOINT

A similar joint, called a box or finger joint, has straight protrusions called fingers on both boards. This joint is used on jewelry boxes and other small boxes. The box joint is strong because it has a large surface area for glue.

DOVETAIL DADO (SLIDING DOVETAIL)

The Dovetail Dado, or Sliding Dovetail, consists of a dovetail-shaped dado in one board and a dovetail-shaped tenon in the other board. This method is a strong way of connecting fixed shelves to walls.
