Thanks, Garry.

Those are cool joints Garry, thanks so much for going into this detail for me/us here on LumberJocks!

Wow, Gary, this just demonstrates that to be a great woodworker, you must have math and geometry skills (which explains why it’s tough for me…).

Yes, thanks Garry. I’ll have to give it a try. I’ve seen some books on Japanese joinery, but they only showed the joints and didn’t show how to lay them out. Did you come across one, or is this your own method to laying them out?
