All of them require no screws, nails or glue.

    You win one internet today, congrats!

    His sample had a dot of glue inside somewhere so the dovetail wouldn't slide when handled, and it made a good thought experiment. I believe that he cut the dovetails in larger pieces, then assembled with the dot of glue, then cut the block out (at 45 deg to the original block), and finally finished the 4 sides that show the dovetails. He was careful to proportion the dovetails so they would look correct when viewed at that oblique angle.
