Talk:Butterfly joint

I don't think that this subject merits its own page. It could easily be covered in one paragraph of the "Wood Joints" article.====Eric Schrader —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericschrader (talk • contribs) 02:40, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I decided to add more detail to the pervious history section. I felt like the version before had very little information and did not give a clear picture. I gave the background information on why the term "Dutchman" came into play as well as what types of materials it can be made from. I gave more information on the Dovetail joints found in the Egyptian boats. In the previous version, the way it was written, made it sound like the dovetail joints were made by the Egyptians, which is not true. The joints where added after discovery. I also gave a little background information on who first made the Butterfly joints popular. Amoody1 (talk) 02:50, 14 February 2019 (UTC)amoody1[reply]
