    Dovetail sounds like a bird. It’s not a bird, right? Right?

      A dovetail is a type of joint that doesn’t require fasteners and only uses the material (usually glue for wood).

        It was more funny when I didn’t know that :(

        But thanks! I kind of expected it’s something like that :D

          Does knowing that the name comes from one of the join elements (left side) looking like the tail of a dove, improve that?
