    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

      When you build structures out of massive beams and your only crane is your shoulders it behooves you to find ways to make shorter, or a more manageable way to make long beams while perched on top of a bambo scaffold. I wonder more how they ever got the beams up in the tall buildings. Then how do you square the things?

        I've been practicing handcut dovetails for a couple months and have, therefore, become appreciative of fine joinery. With that in mind, I will say that was a pretty decent fit.

        I wonder if they use any adhesive.

          That's truly amazing. To think I was proud of the sliding dovetails on the bunk bed ladder I made last year...

            I loved the way they used wedges to get it to close and open.

            And then a shim to lock it closed.
