Hardware-based Neck Joint by William Cumpiano

I don't know if this'll be "a big surprise" to anyone else here, but I got pretty excited when I discovered it online.
William Cumpiano published on his website a drawing and explanation of the hardware-based neck joint he now prefers for all his acoustic guitar builds or so he says.
It involves just two knock-down (KD) barrel-and-bolt sets (like for Ikea furniture assembly) and appears to make removal of the neck a lot less freightening(!). No dovetail and a lot less glue.
