30 Shots - Day 9

The old driveshed was built in the days when they still used wood plugs to hold the beams and posts together. The place is full of them!
It really makes you appreciate the energy and devotion our ancestors needed to produce even the most basic, ordinary, and utilitarian buildings that we take for granted today.

great details of that joint - isn't it a mortise and tenon joint with peg? (I so shouldn't have supported DT lessons (which included woodworking)

[Joan Robillard]

I am not sure what it is called but I think you are right. It is a strong joint, no matter what it is called!

Simple solutions become works of art.
