Wood method

Okay kiddo, have you ever played a game of Jenga? You know how all the pieces are made of wood, right? Well, the wood method is a way of building things using only wood pieces without using screws, nails, or glue.

First, you need to choose pieces of wood that are the right shape and size. You can go to a place called a lumberyard to get them. The pieces have to fit together perfectly like a puzzle. Then, you use a special tool called a saw to cut the wood into the right shape. You have to be very careful not to hurt yourself while using the saw!

Next, you put the pieces together like a puzzle. You might use a technique called "dovetail" where the pieces fit together with little tabs that hold them in place. It's kind of like a kid's puzzle where the pieces only fit one way.

When all of the pieces are in the right place, you tap them together with a special hammer. This helps the wood pieces stay together without using nails or screws. Sometimes, people use a special type of wood called "green wood" to build things because it's easier to bend and shape.

And that's basically it! Using the wood method takes a lot of skill and practice, but it's a fun way to build things without using any tools or equipment.
