Thanks HuFlung,
You answered one of thoes unasked questions.
I'm thinking I would want to leave the pins in the main body and have the minor piece come free when you want to take it apart.
In typing this I realized that, if you use two dowels in one piece you'd better have holes that are really perpendicular to the surface if you want to be able to take it apart.
There's so much to learn in metalworking.
