Interjection. My first primary goal when draw boring the peg holes is not to load the joint but to choose that when I insert the peg it does not push the joint apart. The risk of marking exactly where the theological peg will fall can vary and the end result can be the joint being pushed apart. Even pulling the members together with ratchets and straps and then boring risks, in time, the joint being held apart. I find the result of drawing boring and having the joint be pulled together during and after the frame a perk, most joinery is in compression anyway. I would find it odd the the eastern influences would not draw the joinery.
