	title of this thread your message A cross shaped metal joint can have many variations, but I remember one that my father's workshop used to secure the assembly of windows (I guess hard wood windows were considered furnture making becaus it happened quite often). The primary use was not to have too many clamps tied up, so when the frames were clamped and the 90 degree angles measured (just by comparing the two diagonals)these cross shaped arrows would be hammered throught th assembly and the clamps would got to the next frame. As kids we used to build cross bows and these small steel arrows were our favorite amunition. The were about 2" long (5 cm) and one of the legs of the cross would rest in the groove of the bow. We were only allowed to shoot on targets but I remember that a good bow, laminated from oak (for strength) and ash (for flexibility), would shoot off an arrow like that in a pinewood plank and enter about 3/4" (just short of 2 cm)at 10 yards (9,5 meter) distance...but I guess that you are thinking about something different.
