Are pocket screws stronger than dowels? Are wide tenons stronger than narrower ones? Are deeper dadoes stronger than shallow ones? For the "Wood Joint Torture Test" in WOOD magazine issue #173, we created and then destroyed more than 100 joints in our quest for the answers to those questions and more. This video shows some of the joints we broke.

It sure is but hide glue used for centuries is just as good if used correctly as evidenced by 200 yr old furniture, much of it never used glue for anything other than a secondary attachment.

Wow, only stress tests I've ever done with wood is with a unit in use under normal wear and tear - in the AF we used to do stress and crack testing on equipment but that was to insure a fighter didnt fall on someone's house. Boeing's wing test recently on a carbon fiber wing is just as awesome to watch especially at the failure point - BOOM.

It's actually glue made for attaching gorillas to other gorillas. But they should stop doing it anyway.

For Woodworking it's Great Info. If I build a Cabinet, I doubt that much Stress would ever be Encountered, unless a Gorilla was inside, trying to get out !!! :-)
