The shoulder or lapped joint is very common and can be seen in furniture and box constructions such as jewellery boxes. Two examples are shown below. |

SIMPLE LAPPED JOINT |
BOTTOM OF JEWELLERY BOX |

The joint seen above is a simple lapped joint. The shoulder can be seen clearly on the left, this is usually planed using a rebate/shoulder plane or combination plane. |
The jewellery box seen above 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. |

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