the shear test is not in shear

It sure is but hide glue used for centuries is just as good if used correctly as evidenced by 200 yr old furniture, much of it never used glue for anything other than a secondary attachment.

Wow, only stress tests I've ever done with wood is with a unit in use under normal wear and tear - in the AF we used to do stress and crack testing on equipment but that was to insure a fighter didnt fall on someone's house. Boeing's wing test recently on a carbon fiber wing is just as awesome to watch especially at the failure point - BOOM.

It's actually glue made for attaching gorillas to other gorillas. But they should stop doing it anyway.

Are biscuit joints stronger than dovetails? Would like some expert advice on this, thanks.

For Woodworking it's Great Info. If I build a Cabinet, I doubt that much Stress would ever be Encountered, unless a Gorilla was inside, trying to get out !!! :-)

it really does not matter what type of glue was used. Every joint, except the miter (with glue only)failed because of the wood and not the glue... did you not see the same video that I saw Sherlock?

i havent read all the comments below and im sorry if i am repeating. however i am a bit unsure about your methods, in regards to the shear test mainly. what i mean is it didnt look to me like the metal plate was placed with the same amount of leverage on the horizontal piece in the tests shown in your video. thank you for your video i did find it quite interesting.
