January 27, 20179 yr comment_94768 Some practical, some not...I see some structural weakness in some of them. Several are decorative, only. All were fun to look at...thanks Herb. Report

Also makes you wonder what is inside that joint when you look at one assembled. Herb Report
January 27, 20179 yr comment_94776 Very interesting. Japanese woodworking is fascinating, especially their joinery. Thanks, Herb. Report
January 27, 20179 yr comment_94778 WOW! Some of those are really neat. I would not have the patience or the skill for most of them! Report

A lot of variations of the same basic joint. If you get the basics down, then I imagine it would become second nature. Report

January 27, 20179 yr comment_94788 I was impressed with the drawings let alone making one of those joints. Report

Herb IDK personally ...closest I ever came to it besides what occasionally grows in the wild around here was during a training session for supervisors at work conducted by the Indiana State Police... I've seen pictures (and knew farmers) who grew hundreds of acres of it from the late 30's through the end of WWII used to make hemp rope...told me they made pretty good money raising and selling to DOD during WWII.

January 28, 20179 yr comment_94905 During the 40s, raw hemp was transported by rail through southern IL. Lots of seeds fell along the tracks. In the 70s, you'd see lots of folks harvesting all along the tracks. I guess the authorities got wise because, eventually the RR companies began spraying 2-4 D. There were reports of some kids getting pretty sick. As has been said before, "Ya can't fix stupid." Report
