You can also transfer marks like this ..
It allows you to make really skinny, tapered dovetails ...

1st October 2014, 09:44 AM #18Marking off the pins is good for the drawer back, or box construction, but not as easy to mark out for a drawer front where the tails do not go right through
I should also confess that I don't cut them by hand. I use a table saw to cut the pins and band saw to cut the tails. Not that it make a lot of difference but doing pins first on the table saw is easier.
Some people grind the first few teeth off their dovetail saw for marking out pins as per Derek's photo. I just use a card scraper."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."
