I believe that dry fit connections are better and more elegant regardless of additional labor expenses and craft. The assembly process can be greatly shortened thanks to the absence of adhesives and nails. Since the dry fit connections create flexible joints without nails or glue, the architectural appearance and construction quality can rely less on the contractors. Besides, nails and screws are sharp and pointy, by working on typical wood connections, the construction workers can often accidentally injure themselves. Also, the hammering process, poisonous adhesive chemicals, and accidental nail gun discharge could cause hazardous effects to builders. In addition, nails and screws can be a hidden danger to users as well as the noise of drilling and hammering. These problems could all be solved through dry fit connections. Furthermore, as the dry fit wood pieces can easy be taken apart and re-assembled, minimal material waste makes this a sustainable method. In the fabrication process of AAFE, part of the sustainability concept is reusing the wood from pallets to make the table top. But the project is also facing a challenge of taking apart the wood pallets. If there are any nails left inside the wood, it may break the blade while it runs through the table saw, potentially causing hazard to people during the fabrication process. "We have to be especially careful to remove the nails from the pallet in order to protect the tools and more importantly protect ourselves," said Max Taylor, group member of the AAFE project team. However, if the dry fit method were applied for assembly of the pallet, there would not be problems caused by the nails. Finally, by showing the logic of the structure, the dry fit joint is minimalist and elegant.
