Dowel maker

<< < (2/10) > >>

Pat B:
I think the one Jamie has will do 5/16" and 3/8" shafts and cost very little to purchase. I don't know how much though.   Pat

Here are two previous threads that cover home made shafting pretty well.

Ok as promised my primitive(redneck) dowel maker let me know what ya think guys. I've only made a few arra's with it so far.
Rip our split a 3/8"x3/8" blank then use a small plane to take the corners off. Next chuck it up in yer drill and spin it thru the 3/8" hole. Move down the line and stop one size larger than finished diameter. Sand to final dimension. Leave yer shaft long and cut er to size after sanding. This contraption actually seems to work ok.
