pins equal in size which results in an uninteresting machine-made look.

There has always been some dispute as to which is best laid out and cut first, the dovetails or the pins. Each method has its merits and drawbacks but most craftsmen prefer to start with the pins. Some forms of the joint require that the tails be cut first.

Take the board that will have the half pins and give it identifying marks to remind you which is the face side. Begin by squaring a line (use a sharp, hard pencil) around the end of the pin board at a distance from the end equal to the thickness of the mating board plus about 1/64 inch extra (Fig, 4).

This little extra length will insure that the pieces will go completely through each other. After assembly, the slightly protruding pins and dovetail can be cut flush. This is easier than having the pins and tails recessed which will require that the face sides of the boards be planed down, thus altering the finish dimensions.
