Crisp corners are created through the technology of an item called the framing chisel. I think it still exists out there... :rolleyes:
And apparently tenons were once squared, not rounded. Go figure.

You maybe you're on to something - I have seen (and read about) large tenons with rounded edges, say radiused to about the size of a 1 1/2" auger.... Maybe it was REALLY cold that day when the lead carp was giving instruction.
So the timber exits the machine and is placed on sawhorses for 'hand tuning'? Also, a final planing is done to fit into housings?
I have seen a 'hundeggar floor joist' - are some 'traditional' housings omitted when this style of 'drop in' joiney is permitted?

Hello all, Here's a pic of a project that was fast and cheap but certainly not perfect. It is ESSENTIAL shelter, and it was the first building on my lot - kinda like a barn, I guess...   Yes, that's about 2 feet of white stuff here in northern BC. Pine, Fir, and Porcelin, together at last. Cheers, Brock

perhaps it's not "perfect" because there's only one empty beer bottle in there.

That looks really solid, Brock. One could even say it's built like a brick... no wait, timber... now I'm confused.
