Woodworker Jiskar Schmitz has designed a clever "hammer joint" that can be made with a laser cutter, creating quick and solid joints without the need for glue or fasteners. This joint is a variation of the wedged mortise and tenon joint, utilizing a built-in wedge that expands the tenon outward to create a tight and secure connection. The hammer joint takes advantage of the laser cutter's thin kerf and blind cutting capabilities, making it ideal for birch plywood and other materials. There is also potential for further improvement by adding a ratchet and pawl shape to prevent the wedge from backing out.
