I am not as concerned as to what produced the joint as to how the joint fits and lasts over time. Structural stability shouldn't be a choice it should be a requisite. Time is money and money has it's advantages but with a small amount of forethought you can have both. Why sacrifice one for the other. Speed and proficiencies is what was sought after in previous times as should be today. They should go hand in hand. If you produce the best piece possible then there should be little apologises. Something to stand behind instead of running away from in pursuit of the ever dwindling dollar. We should build pieces that will last for lifetimes intstead of the next paycheck. I know that building pieces out of wood might not be considered green but what most of us strive for is for our pieces to last for 100's of years rather than the next decade, if that, like much of the furniture produced today.
