That's pretty much it. On the front, there is nothing to show that there are any dovetails there if you are more than a couple of feet away. That little point of the pin is literally one kerf wide, and so is lost in the vast expanse of oak on the fascia. I'd maybe think about using them on a box, but I consider the use of them this time to be a lesson learnt.
