LayFig. 430 off the lines cd on the end of the piece A. Lay off the oblique lines ec on both sides of the the piece in the vise, end upward, and with the back-saw (or adovetail-saw) cut by these oblique lines {ec) to the lines ah. Lay thepiece flat, and with the chisel cut out the parts to be removed (marked•m), as in cutting a mortise (page 146), undercutting very slightly at theend (Fig. 422). When this cutting has been cleanly done, lay the piece.
