Step 13Cut the pins on the guides
Time to do more cutting. Don't give up! We're almost done.
With the guide in a vise, cut straight down the width lines using the backsaw until the saw reaches the depth line. Then cut perpendicular to that cut, right along the depth line. This should remove a nice chunk from the guide. Don't worry about the dovetail pin. It should still function normally if you knock a little nub off the end there.
After you cut to define the width, cut along the height line down to the depth line. Then cut along the depth line toward the height line. You should have a nice little pin for the notch. Do the same thing for guide B.
