    Think a little glue might help?

    No glue!

    Never!

    The point of Japanese joinery is that the whole thing can actually hold the weight, but also be disassembled and reassembled without any other fasteners r adhesives.

    Adhesives were not used much when this form was evolving, but iron spikes were, and this obviated the need for them.

    It's gorgeous. A little fancy to replicate over and over as you build, but stunningly beautiful and incredibly smart.
