"In certain cases the peg in a joint is of little consequence, or it's labor is limited. Their importance may only be applicable during certain times, such as during some seismic or climate event. Many constructs of timber wrighting are only guidelines, some are rules, and if you have mastered a segment of the craft they may be bent."

Yup, that is better.

I do like to peg braces, if only for assembling purposes. In most of this peg discussion I have been picturing pegging of braces. I should give a frame a go and use no pegs in the braces. My next frame will have no braces so I won't be able to apply it for that job. It is a plank wall with pegs in the edges of the planks giving it wracking resistance. Planks morticed into top plate and sill.
