"Japanese wood joinery dates back to the seventh century and is a craftsmanship
technique that involves complicated, interlocking wooden joints that form bonds
without the use of nails, screws or adhesives. Practical use of these
woodworking techniques, known as tsugite, has been dwindling over the years due
to their complexity but a team of researchers from Tokyo University have
created a software program that can generate these wooden joints, which can
then be fabricated."

whoo very nice. I'll have to introduce it to "The Shed" most of the old
blokes there got nothing but time. It would give them something other than
cutting boards, cheese boards and pot holders to do ;)

That sounds like a great idea!
