    Joinery is just that... making a joint.
    Most would consider it to be making furniture here in Oz, but you can build a whole house using "joinery" in the traditional sense, its just not done(in Oz)because of labour/time costs.

    There are several concepts here based on qualifications.

    1. Certificate III in General Construction (Carpentry - Framework/Formwork/Finishing)
    2. Certificate III in Carpentry and Joinery
    3. Certificate III in Carpentry
    4. Certificate III in Joinery (Stairs)
    5. Certificate III in Joinery

    In #2 above the joinery aspect relates in essence to that work to do with windows, doors, furniture. Carpentry in both #2 and #3 covers work involved with construction, ie building a house.
    #4 is specific to the construction and instillation to stairs.
    #5 is in most respects a combination of the joinery part of #2 and also #4, (stairs).

    Now in your competition you will find that the term joinery is being restricted to that work covering delicate items, boxes of special nature, cigars, jewellery etc.
