I can cut these by hand but I just have not had the right project yet.
I will though, and then show how well I did them.

How do those work? Unless I'm not seeing this with the right POV, I
don't see how these are put together.

No, I think they are simply stacked. The reference you showed is a
guess of how that went together.

Doh! I had normal dovetail joinery in mind. I saw that it was a
house but didn't even consider that the walls were stacked.

May not need to carve the whole tail, just a few inches inward.

That's what the image I linked to shows. Stacked.

To be more precise, the image shows the 3rd piece in process of being
stacked on the other 2.

The 2nd comment after that image reads "That's the way it appears in the pic.
I can't see them sliding together. They would have had to have been placed 1
on top of the other." i.e. stacked.

Somebody asked:

"How does the water run away from joints like that?"

To which I replied:

"It doesn't run away. It stands there and stares in wonderment."

OOPS! Sorry, I saw that drawing as a sliding in at 45 degree DT's.

No problem! It is a pretty neat method, assuming you are really good
with a chisel and a rasp.

Would the Origin have helped with that? ;-)

When first seen, the 45 DT is a pretty mind-boggling joint, too. :)

Be interesting to have video of the cutting.

I wonder how much is actually shaped that intricately -- perhaps its
only ornamental outer couple inches and the rest inside is just a
straight section.
