Editing Lap joint (section)

==Cross lap==

The main difference between this and the basic half lap is that the joint occurs in the middle of one or both members, rather than at the end. The two members are at right angles to each other and one member may terminate at the joint, or it may carry on beyond it. When one of the members terminates at the shin, it is often referred to as a ''tee lap'' or ''middle lap''. In a cross lap where both members continue beyond the joint, each member has two shoulders and one cheek. 

Use for:
