It's wood and mid-20th century slot head screws. A quarter a turn too tight or loose is fine and there's no such thing as perfect in anything made of wood anyway.
The tradition of clocking screws may be a bit silly but it is a mark of attention to detail. It is something you see in bespoke heirloom furniture and it serves no practical value.
- ineedasername 5y agoSomething like this which signals "attention to detail" but doesn't actually improve quality or stability isn't something I really care about. It's easy to be sloppy while putting the image of attention to detail in by non-functional surface appearance like clocked screws. If I'm looking for signs of quality then I want to see attention to detail where it matters, not for its own sake. That said, I can appreciate the aesthetic appeal even if it's non functional.
