   I have not heard of this. Can you post a picture as an example?

   this is an example of the joint; it appears that after the joint done, it is ipossible to open: surprising isn't-it?

   To add to BG's link here's another one to an online publication where I describe one way of marking and executing the joint. Slainte.

   Thanks Mike. Have fun making it if you get the urge. To be honest I've never heard of the name Nejiri Arigata for this joint-- it's always just been the double twisted dovetail to me. 

   I'm not much of a student of Japanese joinery and the names applied to them. There again I've only a passing interest in Japanese tools and methods of work too, but you'd probably expect that from a grumpy old bugger like me trained in the western traditions, and more specifically the British style of woodworking, ha, ha.
