What? You're a cabinet maker and you don't know about the Golden Rectangle?
PHI? Yes I know about that. Its just superbly done. I try for it, yet never achieve it that well. or, I just can't do it because of constraints of where something has to go.
The History channel had a program showing how this rope was used in building a cathedral. It was a "reenactor" type group. The rope is versatile and really, really fast! Scribing an arc on stone was very simple. It would surely work just as well with wood.

Karl the part that I find interesting is thinking of the tools they had to work with back then.
You'd be amazed how little has actually changed. The biggest change is from water/slave/animal power to electricity.
Its only very recently that cnc's have come far enough that they can do ornate carvings, otherwise methodology, and tooling has been the same for 500+years.
Glues is another big one. Don't have to cut of the cow or horses hooves to make glue anymore.
