[1] A half dado is formed with a narrow dado cut into one part, coupled with a rabbet of another piece.

In a picture frame the rabbet may hide uneven or poor edges of a painting and its support, while for graphic art and photographs protective glazing is used. A rabbet can be used to form a joint with another piece of wood (often containing a dado). Rabbet joints are easy to construct, but are not as strong as some other joints.

Grooves are the same as dadoes/housings but ...

The mortise and tenon joint also gives an attractive look. One drawback to this joint is the difficulty in making it because of the precise measuring and tight cutting required.
