Proper Joinery?

Let see; I’ve used, Pocket screw joinery, biscuit joinery, dowels, splines, box joints, half blind dovetails, through dovetails, sliding dovetails, dado joints, rabbit, butt joints, lap joints, ship joints, miter joints, half lap miter joints, tongue and grooved joints, and even mortise and tenon joints and I’m sure I’ve left out a number of others.

Please tell me which of the above are considered “proper joinery” and which are not.

If a woodworker is limited on the type furniture or cabinetry he or she builds, than it will make a difference of what type joinery they may choose.

If a woodworker is limited by their skill set or experience, than it will make a difference of what type joinery they may choose.

If a woodworker is limited by their tools, than it will make a difference of what type joinery they may choose.

If a woodworker is narrow minded, than it will make a difference of what type joinery they may choose.

I’m not sure if there is a “proper Joint”, some are just better than others for certain applications. I’ve built hundreds and hundreds of major projects over the past 30 years or so and welcome anyone to visit my web-site and look at some of my work. It would be interesting to see if you can pick out which projects I used what type joinery.

Just saying; : )
