Now lay out the tails. First mark the center of the end grain on the sides. Work out from there to determine how many pins and tails you want. Our tails here are 1-1/4" wide with 5/16" between each tail. Be sure to lay out your tails so the groove for the bottom will be buried in a tail.
Set your sliding bevel to 10 degrees -- a good angle for pine. Mark out the location of the tails on both faces of the sides. A marking knife works better than a pencil because the line is finer and it severs the wood fibers, which makes it easier for you to follow your marks.
