    Spectacular. My granddad worked with Gustav Stickley before he was a Park Ranger, and he made this just for fun. Man he was good at joinery.

    That's pretty incredible. A person would probably die of old age before they ever got their cabin built..

    You'd need some strong friends to help assemble those corners! And not tear up the wood fibers.

    If you look close you can see that they are a just dropped into place one atop the other. There's no stress at all on the joint.

    That's an impressive skill set!

    I've always been amazed with the stock splice the Finns did on the M39 Mosins. They were light years ahead of the Russians, revamping a Russian rifle. If you really work at it, you could snap one of these stocks in half, but it will never break where that splice is.

    Remember, Nanuq. This is a family friendly site so I don't think you're allowed to talk about your granddad's doodad...

    I am sure there is American craftsman who can do it never searched , but I have seen a few videos of Japanese craftsman that are down right amazing cutting joints and woodworking

    Gosh! I have always been impressed with just simple tongue and groove joints in old dresser drawers, fancy boxes, and such. But THIS really adds a lot to over the top work and a puzzle I cannot quite put together in my mind! There sure are some very talented craftsmen out there or long dead ones as well!
