Step 1 - Make a climb cut from right to left.

Step 2 - Cut only between the fingers where you want the pins to be (Fig. 34A). Step 3 - Use the router to round over the ends of the cuts (Fig. 34B).

Step 4 - The joint will hide any accidental excess material cut (A) Fig. 34C.

Step 5 - Use a pencil to mark the location of the ends of the templet fingers on the wood (Fig. 34D). Step 6 - Remove the templet. Install the half-blind templet so that its straight edge is facing you.

Step 7 - Adjust the template back and forth to align the edge of the template with the marks on the wood(B) Fig. 34E.

Step 8 - Make a cut from left to right removing the remainder of the excess material (Fig. 34F).
