"The Carpenters Tool Study Group, a collective of Japanese woodworkers, presents a solid primer on sashimono, "the Japanese technique for assembling furniture and other wooden items" using interlocking wooden joints instead of nails.Detailed photographic instructions demonstrate the basic techniques involved, and the intricate joints constitute a creative, aesthetically pleasing alternative to nails. Experienced carpenters looking to elevate their craft will get the most out of this."
