A lap joint is one in which one member laps over the other. In the simplest form of lap joint, one piece is simply laid on top of the other and secured with glue, mechanical fasteners or both.

Normally the thickness of each piece is reduced, usually by one-half. When this is done with a rabbet at the end of each piece the result is the i joint. If the rabbet on one piece is replaced with a dado, the result is the joint, sometimes called a , or Dadoes on both pieces produce the i
joint. The pieces don't have to be at a right angle. As we can see in picnic table legs. If the dadoes are cut on the edges of the pieces rather than on the face, you have the joint.

In the joint, the dado is cut in one piece and the end of the second piece is set into it. The dado is the same width as the thickness of the second piece. It is a common joint in such things as bookcases or cabinets. It's major disadvantage is its appearance. In trying to avoid that, the dado is stopped short of the edge of the first piece and a corresponding notch is cut in the end of the second piece. Cutting a rabbet on the piece that fits into the dado, and decreasing the width of the dado by a corresponding amount gives the joint. This joint is more rigid than the dado joint. Cutting one edge of the dado at an angle, with a matching cut on the mating pi ece produces the joint. It also adds rigidity, plus it is a locking joint. If both edges of the dado are angled, you get the , or joint.

>,-. The dovetail joint is an advanced joint used most often to join two pieces at a right angle. Each piece has a combination of recesses and projections. On one piece the projections are called pins, on the other tails.
Pins
0 1230 /"
Tails
In the joint, both the pins and tails extend entirely through the mating piece. End grain is visible on both pieces. The joint hides the end grain on the tails, leaving end grain visible on only one surface of the joint. This joint is also called a . If neither the pins nor the tails extend all the way through, you get the joint. When assembled, this joint appears to be a rabbet joint.

Dovetail joints are very strong, but also very difficult to form. They were used on high quality pieces because of their strength. In the small workshop dovetails are usually made using a router and a dovetail jig.

We usually see the miter joint used to join pieces at a right angle, but it can be used with other angles as well. In most cases, the angle at which the miter is cut is 1/2 of the angle made by the pieces to be joined. But there are cases, when joining two pieces of different widths, where the miter angle is not half of the outside angle.

In this joint the tenon is cut in from both faces and both edges. The thickness of the tenon is usually about 1/2 the thickness of the piece on which it is cut. The joint is usually secured by glue, and the tenon is cut about 1/\ shorter than the depth of the mortise to allow room for any glue squeeze out during assembly. Sometimes a mortise is cut in both pieces. The tenon is made separately and glued into both mortises. This forms a
joint When assembled, the tenon is entirely hidden and the joint appears to be a simple butt joint. If the tenon extends entirely through the matching piece, the joint is called a

The i
joint adds both gluing surface and rigidity. The mortise could be angled back to the surface of the piece and the notch in the tenon is cut to the same angle. The joint is also called an
joint. The mortise becomes a groove, open to both faces and one end of the piece. These joints are usually found in places where they will be concealed by other components, or where the appearance of the exposed joinery isn't a concern. In the
joint, the mortise is cut entirely through the piece. Small V-shaped notches are cut in the tenon.

A router may be used to cut the mortise, leaving the ends rounded, or by a drill, as shown.

A rabbet is a groove cut along the very edge of a piece, removing a rectangular section of it along the edge. A rabbet joint is made by fastening one piece into a rabbet cut in another piece. The depth of the rabbet is measured on the thickness of the piece while the width of the rabbet is measured along the face. The width of the rabbet is usually equal to the thickness of the piece that will be set into it. The depth of the rabbet is usually 1/2 to 2/3 of the thickness of the piece it is cut in.

A rabbet joint may be secured by mechanical fasteners like nails or screws, or by glue, or by both.

The i joint is made by simply cutting matching angles on each of the pieces. The angled ends are then butted together. The purpose of this joint is not usually to physically join the two pieces, but rather to hide the fact that they are two pieces rather than one long one.

The i is made by cutting a rabbet across the end of each piece and lapping the rabbets. Each rabbet is usually cut to a depth of one-half the thickness of the piece. The i, uses a wedge shape removed from each piece instead of a simple flat bottomed rabbet.

The i is made by cutting a wide rabbet on the end of each piece and then a narrower dado on the inside edge of the rabbet. The i, uses slightly undersized dadoes, with wedges driven into the resulting space. 11
