Don't forget to include "rebate" with them.

Isn't that a real term? I can find tons of examples of it in the context of
putting a "rebate" onto a frame, but I didn't find it in any of the three
woodworking dictionaries I googled up. I've been operating under the
impression that it was a real term. Have I been tricked by the
semiliterate denizens of the Wreck?


I was introduced to the term rebate (alt spelling of rabbet) sometime
in the early eighties....
