Tony, you use the pins as shims between the two pieces, there aren't any holes afterwards. This works well for larger sheets and gives a really nice joint.

Oh cool! So do you pull the pins out one-by-one, or is it better to pull them out simultaneously?

You pull them out one at a time.

Zephrant on RC has a couple of good explanations of the 'pins' method
