Thanks for the reply. Your probably right about the overall time involved plus the $40 bucks it cost for the T-plate. There's also no room for any movement due to shrinkage. Could possible pull the GRKs out of the post. Another thought is that you would save timber using the T-REX. Eg. Only need for example a 12ft timber instead of a 14ft needed for a beam with tenons. Either way that still leaves a shrinkage problem. There probably good connectors for dry wood or special applications. Maybe someone should invent a timber stretcher. Lol
