  • Dowels / wooden rods are great for connecting wood together. But what are the different ways to do it? What kind of jigs would be useful to have on hand and can you make them yourselves?

    Love this book! ruclips.net/user/postUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!

    I like how you reinvented dowel centers!
    I also saw John Heinz has a trick using masking tape and a punch awl to transfer hole positions to the other piece.

    Nice video. You showed the factory made jigs, and a shop made version. Thank you Ms. Linn

    Dowels are pretty strong but can definitely bite you if there is any inaccuracy in the layout. Also, those dowels should be fluted or grooved so that the hydraulic pressure of glue in a hole doesn’t block complete insertion of the dowel causing an inability to close the joint.

      Thanks for the advice, I was wondering if I really needed to get hold of fluted dowels as I haven't found somewhere that sells them near me in rural Kenya. Good to know it's probably worth the effort to get them.

    Very timely - I need to put together a small table and I was thinking dowels would be much faster than mortise and tenon. Thanks, Linn.

    And you mentioned metal guide bushings... really necessary for a reusable jig unless you have a very hard wood.
    And there's no chance of me drilling holes straight without a machine or a drill guide at minimum.

    Or just buy a Triton dowelling machine 😂
    For finer/smaller dowels I use the plugs or a plastic centre finder jig, depending on the material and thickness.
    For 8/10/12mm dowels (Triton doweler) in 12mm or thicker material, that is the machine and just like a biscuit joiner/or domino comes into its own.
    Nice explanation on various methods though, and those dowel plugs do save time/effort when you need things to flow and timed
