Scribe your pin line, mark your holes, punch and drill. rough file the bevel
with a wood rasp and finish with a finer file, then sand. Install bridge pins.

The reason for drilling the pin holes first is to have a good surface for 
the bit
to enter without drifting drastically. Then you can finesse the bevel to 
the center of the holes.

Don't worry, it's easier than you think,
