    The Jig

    I have a project coming up where I need to make two matching tapered columns, but alas I do not have a lathe. I wanted a way to create them easily and repeatability was important – here is the jig I came up with.. A box.. On the front end I have a vertical adjustment to set the diameter at one...

    Coopered seat dowels

    I am building a Maloof low back chair using the Scott Morrison plans. The two previous Maloof rockers that i have built had a flat seat and I decided my skills were up to the challenge of a coopered seat. I have everything dry fit using the 3 degree angles between the middle pieces as outlined...

    Table frame & dowels

    My wife's grandfather built a coffee table about 30 years ago. It is a very simple design: Four metal legs and a 2'x5' top constructed of plywood covered with Formica/ laminate. It has held up well, but it's too modern of a look for my taste. View image in gallery View image in gallery...

    Make dowels on the cheap....

    Who hasn't found themselves out in the shop, at 2:18am in dire need of a dowel? What to do? Sure, I always intended to get or make one of those spiffy dowel plates. But I don't think any stores are open at 2:18 am. Whats a woodworker to do? Washers, my friends, washers. This...

    Cedar Pegs or Dowels?

    Anyone have a source for cedar pegs or dowels? I want to use some 3/8" diameter pegs (about 40, 2"-3" long) in a project. If the cedar pegs are made of unobtainium, I can make do with 10' of 3/8" cedar dowel. If neither are available, I can buy a bullnose router bit, and make my own...

    Location of wooden dowels

    I am on a search mission for walnut dowels for my trestle tabletop. I found myself coming up short of time because I need them next week. I ordered my last ones from Rockler, I don't want to wait for a delivery. I remember a woodworking business off Hwy 1 just before the beltline, it was on the...

    sizing dowels

    Have you ever had trouble getting dowels to fit in what should be the appropriate size hole? Well, Bill Anderson (wanderson) showed me how to deal with the problem and I've copied his set-up. The photo shows a Lie-Nielsen dowel plate mounted to a cherry base designed to be clamped into...
