The holes are drilled such that there are corresponding holes in each member into which short dowels are inserted with some glue. The joint ...
A chain mortiser used in timber framing. For cutting larger mortises such as those used in timber frame construction, chain mortisers are commonly used.

A carpenter uses a chain mortiser to cut a large mortise A worker uses a large circular saw to cut joints. Joinery is a part of woodworking that involves joining pieces of wood, engineered lumber, or synthetic substitutes (such as laminate), to produce more complex items.
A biscuit joiner uses a small circular saw blade to cut a crescent-shaped hole (called the mouth) in the opposite edges of two pieces of wood or wood composite panels.
