rabbet

A: A framed mirror, which is essentially what you have on your hall rack, typically sits in a rabbet, or groove, that rings the opening.

Other hand tools needed for the job included a rabbet plane No. 10, Japanese slick chisel, hand ripsaw and ryoba saw.

For rabbeting and fillister work the upper holes q are used, while using ploughs the lower ones are brought into requisition.

Placed in the frames, they were held in position in the rabbets by laths nailed to the sides so as to prevent any play.

These included "Planing, moulding, rabbeting, grooving, mortising, and sawing, both in coarse and fine work, in curved, winding, and transverse directions, and shaping wood in complicated forms."
