:  .........................The problem is that marking pins from tails
means marking
:  on end-grain, and that kind of sucks.

One old dodge is, having cut the kerfs for the sockets (and before chopping
them out), the tail piece is offered to the pin bearer and the tip of the
tenon saw is run along each kerf, thus outlining the pin.

I have tried it, but wouldn't use if for other than the kind of job that
Klaus used his d'tails for; some hard-pressed tradesmen might have made good
use of it..
