On Topic. How to stretch a board.
I have seen this joint (or one similar) before.
I thought it was cool to see how they put it together and take it apart. Appears to be really strong too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NYqAGvgM2Y -- Jeff |

Appears to be really strong too. seems like they were fitting the final peg or at least that is what i interpreted from watching it saw a video where the architect wanted vast spans with no need for load bearing posts in the room it was in japan and the design included only joinery techniques with no metal he designed the joint in cad and it was so complex that it could only be done by machine the joints were curved but did something similar to these joints all the master carpenters agreed that only a machine could provide the precision required the room was actually a music hall iirc |

That's the tool you need when you've cut the board twice and it's still too short. |

I have a book on joints(somewhere in the house) , I have two, one really old ("Woodworking Joints", by Fairham) and "The Joint Book" by Terrie Noll. The latter has colored diagrams throughout and that would be the one I would select if I could only have one of these two. I see Amazon has some others too.

That joint was not a cabinetry joint, which is the subject we're mainly concerned with. It was a joint from the ship-building or timber-framing world. Interesting from an engineering standpoint, and interesting from a historical standpoint (as others noted, exceptionally complex joints were used in ship-building and timber-framing back to the 1300's), but not especially relevant to furniture.
