We also try to standardize on some very basic modules. In fact, Tinkertoys offer a valuable lesson for all kinds of engineering. This kind of toy allows children to create and build, while requiring minimal skills. The Tinkertoy approach is used in some projects that adults undertake, but not as much as it could be. This is largely because of a perception problem.
Real craftsmanship is based on ingenuity and invention.
The spirit finds the way because there is a will to realize a unique idea. We should seek alternatives that reduce the skill level needed to create things. These unique innovations are designed to work together as a system, thus enabling creative and quick composition of structures. They also can work individually, as stand-alone joining technologies. In addition, they are designed to easily combine with common materials such as dimensional lumber, plywood, slatwall, and so on.
