ReplyDeleteFascinating. Thanks so much for including this link.
ReplyDeleteFrom bloated government.... screws come from bloated government. Thus endeth the lesson.
ReplyDeleteScrews are one of the foundations of technology and thus civlization. Thus, while I lived in Australia I needed three set of tools, sae, iso and whitworth to work on my truck.
ReplyDeleteFor about a full decade I made furniture using only draw bored dowels or wedges. No adhesives, no bolts or screws. Nonetheless, I built them to last.
ReplyDeleteEven a fine pocket watch can be assembled with pins and dowels - tapered if needed. A punch for disassembly or adjustment.
Still, the concept of a helix around a shaft has great need, more than simple convenience.
