SHOULDER / REBATE / LAPPED JOINT

V. Ryan © 2003

 

The shoulder or lapped joint is very common and is used for furniture and box constructions such as jewellery boxes.

The joint to the left is a simple lapped joint. The shoulder can be seen clearly, this is usually planed using a rebate/shoulder plane or combination plane. This type of joint is often seen as a corner joint.

The jewellery box seen to the left has a base which sits inside a rebate or shoulder which has been planed / cut into each of the sides. The base has been pushed into the shoulder and this means it is level with the sides.

   

QUESTION:

With the aid of sketches and notes explain how a shoulder joint could be used as one of the joints of a tool box
