Case Joint

A case joint is a type of joint used in shipbuilding where two planks or plates are joined together at an angle to form a corner. The joint is made by cutting a groove in the edge of each plank or plate and then fitting them together so that they overlap at the corner. The joint is then secured with fasteners such as nails or bolts. Case joints are commonly used in the construction of wooden boats and ships, as well as in the repair of damaged hulls. They are particularly useful in areas where the hull curves or changes direction, as they allow for a smooth transition between planks or plates.
