Make the straight clamping block. If the workpiece is thinner than 3/4", you will need to modify the dimension (Fig. 15D).

Make two thickness blocks the same thickness as the pin board. Drill a hole big enough for the wood screw to go through (Fig. 15E).

Assemble the board-mounted half-blind template (Fig. 15F).

NOTE: You will not need to remove the half- blind depth bracket.
