The name is taken from the pillory , a much larger device used to secure the head and hands. These stocks also known as a finger pillory operate on a slightly different principle. In addition to the familiar semicircular cut outs, the lower stock has vertical holes in which the first two joints of the finger are inserted. Once the stocks are closed, the finger which is bent at the middle joint cannot be removed. It was sufficient to imprison only the index or middle finger of each hand in this manner. Finger stocks were routinely used in upper class halls to punish the disorderly during social gatherings, and to discipline servants. A particularly fine example can be found in Littlecote Hall, Berkshire, England. These stocks are still regularly used on unruly diners during contemporary medieval banquets. Finger stocks were also used in churches for minor offences, like not paying attention during a sermon. An example still survives in the parish church of Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire, England.

To visualize a finger joint simply interlock the fingers of your hands at a ninety degree angle hence the name finger joint. It is stronger than a butt or lap joint , and often forms part of the overall look of the piece. The finger joint is the most common joint used to form long pieces of lumber from solid boards the result is finger jointed lumber . The history of the finger joint is believed to have begun with wooden produce boxes or crates in the days before modern, man made materials. Finger joints were originally cut by hand with saws and sharp chisel s. In modern times they are easily and quickly made with a table saw or wood router router and a jig or fixture, which can be shop made or purchased from a specialty woodworking supply store. A finger joint jig typically consists of a moving fence with an indexing pin that is used to evenly space out the cuts. The fence is moved over a cutting blade making a cut that is then moved over the indexing pin so the next cut can be made. The strength of a finger joint comes from the long grain to long grain contact between the fingers, which provides a solid gluing surface. The number of contact points also allows for more gluing surface as opposed to a butt joint or a rabbet joint. While the spacing of finger joints is mostly an aesthetic decision, it is commonly less than or equal to the thickness ... the length of the mating surfaces lends itself better to a 1 4 finger joint, which would appear less busy to the eye.
