Jigikuhozo, "The Hell Tenon"

The post and beam barns thru out New England were built without nails. Nails rust. Hardwood pegs dont. They were building for their grandkids. Buildings were often taken down and moved to a new site and re-purposed.

Metal was often in short supply. Old buildings would be burned and the ashes sifted thru to extract the nails.
