Maybe a lap joint could work?

> Hello, I know this can be done manually with a lot of effort but does anyone know of a simple way to create a split box with a fitted lid to a base? Basically a snap-in male-to-female top to a base that uses a narrow leading edge and neatly fits into a matching grooved body? I would think with the new split-body tool (cool) this would be fairly trivial but I just can’t figure out how to create the male-to-female edging. Thanks in advance. David
