STEP FIVE
Mark the Center Line for the Two Outside Pins
Mark a center line for each of the two outside pins. (Note: In this case, the center line for the two outside pins is 1/4 inch from the edge.)
STEP SIX:
Use a Divider to Mark the Remaining Center Lines
Make marks along the board for the center line of each pin, using the previous pin’s center line. The distance between each center line is entirely up to you.
STEP SEVEN:
Measure and Mark the Outside Edges of Each Pin
Using each center line, a rule and a pencil, mark the outside edge of each pin. In this case, the outside edges are each 3/16 of an inch from the center line.
STEP EIGHT:
Strike the Pin Lines
Using a pairing block (or bevel gauge set to a 1:6) begin striking the angled lines of the pins. If you have a pairing block you can also continue the plumb line down the inside face of the board. If you do not have a pairing block, use a square for the plumb line.
STEP NINE:
Continue Striking the Lines
Use the pairing block to lay out the rest of each pin.
With the pins laid out, it’s time to cut them.
