[edit] The right trade

This has been put into the category of Joinery. It should be pointed out that this is not a joiner's joint. It belongs to carpenters and particularly to shipwrights. (RJP 07:33, 4 August 2005 (UTC))

You're absolutely right. The problem is that both the Joinery article and the Category:Joinery are misnomers. They should be renamed "Woodworking joints" or something similar. I don't need to tell you that joinery properly refers to what is now called "finish carpentry" or "millwork" in North America, i.e. making and installing wooden fittings in buildings, which needs its own article. If you want to do the renaming please go ahead, otherwise, I will get around to it in the next few days. Luigizanasi 15:31, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
