Cleaning up the drawer front pins

With the pins cut, it’s time to square up the corners
of the drawer front pins. Start by using a bevel gauge
and pencil or striking knife to extend the line of the pins
to where they intersect the scribed line.

With the pin sockets marked out, clamp the stock
in a vise and use a sharp chisel to trim the excess wood
from the rounded corners left by the router bit. Start
by cutting along the pin, then align the flat side of the
chisel with the scribe line and remove any excess wood
left there. Skew or fishtail chisels are best for cleaning
up the corners of blind dovetails.

Test the fit of the socket boards and use a chisel to
trim any spots on the pin board that fit too tightly.
