I am going to make a stencil from a compound path and need to create bridges to the "island" areas. Given this image (and the anchor points on the path) what's the quickest way in Adobe Illustrator to cut out a small section of black so that the white part stays connected?

1. with no bounding box and assuming the objects to be joined are already a compound object.

You could outline your path (ensure it doesn't have any fill)

Object>path>outline stroke

then select both the object and its 'bridge' and go to the pathfinder palette

click on 'unite'
