Toy construction set and method

A toy construction set comprising:

• a plurality of interconnectable objects each having a plurality of faces, said plurality of objects each having a connector on three of said faces that are orthogonal, other ones of said plurality of faces that lack a connector having a fibrous or pierceable material, said connector including:
• an first hub and a second hub, each of said hubs having on one side thereof a plurality of spiral prongs arranged in at least one circular row, the spiral prongs on said first hub spiraling in a direction opposite that of the spiral prongs on said second hub to provide a right and a left hand thread, each of said spiral prongs rising less than its overall exposed length, said first hub being rotatably attached to a corresponding one of the faces of the object, said second hub being annular, said first hub having a circular outline and being concentrically and rotatably mounted in said second hub;
• and
• a manually operable lever pivotally connected between said first and said second hub for relatively rotating them in opposite directions at most 1/16 of a turn, said link extending outside said second hub, said set including:
• a substrate having a fibrous or pierceable material, said connector being adapted to connect to said substrate.
