Editing Lap joint (section)

==End lap==

Also known simply as a ''pull lap'', it is the basic form of the lap joint and is used when joining members end to end either parallel or at right angles. When the joint forms a corner, as in a rectangular frame, the joint is often called a ''corner lap''. This is the most common form of end lap and is used most in framing.

For a half lap in which the members are parallel, the joint may be known as a ''half lap splice''. This is a [[splice joint]] and is an alternative to [[scarf joint|scarfing]] when joining shorter members end to end.

Both members in an end lap have one [[Joinery terms|shoulder]] and one [[Joinery terms|cheek]] each.

Use for:
* Internal cabinet frames
* Visible frames when the frame members are to be shaped.
