The stock and finished sizes are the same for this lesson as for Lesson 30 (Rabbeted Joint).

The rabbeted end is worked similar to the one in Lesson 30 (Rabbeted Joint). The gain is worked similar to the one in Lesson 18 (Making A Halved Tee). The work on this joint must be well executed in order to have it hold properly. After the pieces are worked to size and carefully sandpapered as directed in Lesson 30 (Rabbeted Joint), they may be glued together or nailed.

If the joint is to be glued, it will be much stronger if the pieces have their end grain properly sized before putting together. To size the pieces apply glue to the end grain as long as it will soak in, and then apply glue to the other parts and put the pieces together. If we allow the glue to dry hard, and then smooth it off down to the wood before applying the glue for putting together, it will make the joint hold even better.

This joint is used on box and drawer corners and similar places. This joint, and also the one

shown in Lesson 30 (Rabbeted Joint), may be made entirely on a circular-sawing machine. For this reason it is much used in small shops where they do not have the more expensive machinery for dovetailing.
