Joining Vectors

The attached file is a project I recently started. Started with a rectangle, and added more on top to give me lines to pocket. To allow clean pockets I extended the design beyond the edge. Trimmed vectors, then tried to join vectors. When it would not work, I Zoomed in to make sure they were touching.

Ideas?

I am sure I am back asswards on something, just can’t get out of this loop I am in.

None of the open vectors describe a closed region:

You need to add lines so as to define closed regions:

Then you will be able to select the four lines:

and join them to create a closed region:

Thank you again, Will. You pull my head out of the dark hole it was stuck in.
