Summary

In this chapter, we learned that the Tab and Slot tool is a great way of joining two sheets together, especially if they meet at a perpendicular angle. Slots will be cut from one of the sheets, and the adjoining sheets will have tabs added that fit into these slots.

In the next chapter, we will take a close look at the various Corner tools that allow you to easily finish off the small details of your models.
