Came across this blog entry from the TU Delft (http://studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl/ie/?p=946) and thought it would be worth sharing with everyone on here. I'm looking through the PDF you can download now and many of joints are variations on the same theme, but its still interesting to dig through them.
From the site:
Wood Joints are fascinating! As computer-controlled wood processing machines move into the cabinet-makers’ workshops, the way two pieces of wood are joined together in a construction needs to be reconsidered. The digital wood joints were developed in the course of several years of reserch at the C…Lab of the Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach, a project headed by Prof. Jochen Gros and Designer Friedrich Sulzer.The result of this research are 50 digital wood joints, devided into frame joints, board joints and carcass joints. These wood joints are meant to inspire you, so that you will experiment and use them for your projects or develop your own digital woodjoints.
Enjoy!
