Here, longtime master cabinetmaker & woodworker Frank Klausz demonstrates how to join two pieces of wood together without using glue or sealant - and making it watertight. Shown to him by his grandfather, the clever technique takes advantage of the behavior of both wood and water, and doesn't seem too difficult.
