And that ladies is why the Japanese have wooden temples that are over a thousand years old! What a great find Ricky, thanks for sharing. Watching that fuzzy headed angry looking dude perform an ancient craft just made me feel less of a man while inspiring me to be more of a man. Awesome!

But outsourcing labor to Asia is dirt cheap the house would be at least half the price of a american made counterpart. 

comp56Member since Sep 2014

labour maybe cheap but what are ya going to do wait while the drift over or pay for shipping….lol

chadlanthierMember since Mar 2013

It’s all in what your willing to pay for. And some r willing to pay more than others.

Yea i have seen a fun woodworking project that has the same concept called the impossible dovetail you glue it together give it a nice finish put it on your coffee table and watch everyone you ever have over get confused.
