I was almost irritated at myself for being so confused, it's a dovetail inside the post itself. The slot to slide it in on post B.
And the drainage channel, wouldn't have thought of that and then I'd've been sad when everything rotted.

Animation is extra not stupid, 10/10, thank you!

What'd you use to make the animation?

Free Stupid Added Bonus Thing.  (Does it suck?  Is it awesome?  Confusing or helpful?  You decide.)

Howdy!  Hope you're well.  This is Beau.

You should have received an email from Gir Bot (permies helper robot) yesterday with a link to 50 minutes of raw footage about the giant grape arbor I built at last year's Permaculture Technology Jamboree.  You probably haven't had a chance to watch it yet.  You may not even care 50-minutes-worth, and are satisfied to hold out for the feature-length Low Tech Lab film to be complete soonish.  That is all good!  I am not here in your inbox to twist your arm about that.  I am here in your inbox to twist your arm about another thing.

I made a stupid animation of the joinery for the giant grape arbor.  Far worse animation than our usual stuff that Andres cooks up.  But I yam what I yam, and it is what it is.

So I added the stupid animation to the thread for the arbor, here: https://permies.com/arbor.

Since you own access to the thread already, probably because you backed the Kickstarter at $80 or more, you should now be able to see my stupid animation.

So I am here to twist your arm to, pretty please with cherries on top, watch my stupid animation, and drop a comment on the thread to tell me if it helps bring clarity to how we designed the joinery for the grape arbor.  Helpful?  Confusing?  Can't read my handwriting?  Ideas for ways to make the final version better?  I am all ears.  Well, and eyes.  Technically I have a nose too, and some other bits & bobs, but you know what I mean.

It is 1 minute and 49 seconds.  

I have a slice of PIE for the first 3 commenters.  

Thanks y'all!  

Much love,
Beau
