The strength of a joinery technique depends on the application and the materials used. Generally:
- Domino Joinery is one of the strongest due to the precision and durability of the mortise-and-tenon-style connection. It creates a tight fit and distributes the load evenly, making it ideal for high-stress joints.
- Dowel Joinery also offers excellent strength, especially when precise drilling ensures alignment. For most casing installations, combining techniques like pocket holes with glue can provide a balance of strength and efficiency.
