Dowels are such an awesome way to build projects but I found a few flaws in the diy dowel jigs out there. So I built my own, and personally, I think it's the best adjustable doweling jig, but there could be a little bias there 😉
In this video I'll show you how I made my adjustable doweling jig, how you can make one too, and why I think it just might be the best!

Add a hole on the side. This hole is where you place the drill bit in. The hole is a DRILL DEPTH ADJUSTMENT PORT set to the proper depth needed to set the collar on the bit. Great job!

@pj2123 Год назад

I finished building one of these yesterday and I was really impressed when trying it out. Main problem for me in the UK was finding a supplier of the steel sleeves, I ended up having to make them on my lathe from 10mm bar for 8mm dowels. Without following your drilling jig and spacer blocks idea I would never have got the accuracy in drilling the exact hole positions needed. Thanks for the brilliant video 👍

I really enjoy doing your jig from the plans that I get from your place and your you tube video, they are excellent and very well explained and very easy to follow if you have all the tools required. This is a comment for your written instructions there is a mistake in the dimensions for the spacer thickness, your instruction call for 3/8" I think it should be 5/8" thickness, but if you pay attention and a little logic and you follow the plan view of the jig you will catch that the spacer should be 5/8", I hope the you don't feel bad for my comment.

First time watcher. Great video. I’ve watched it entirely 3x. I’ll buy the plans. Thinking of how to make it on my cnc. Seriously consider tripling your plan cost. Or at least double. And maybe find a way to batch a small run of them and sell them numbered and limited supply. A DIY version of Woodpeckers....

@Craftswright 3 года назад

I'm considering it. I mostly want to foster a strong community instead of sell expensive plans, but I think you're right that they could go up a little bit, maybe just a couple bucks. What I might need to do is partner up with someone that has a CNC because THAT I think would make the run profitable. Let me know how you're build goes and that might help me figure out how to go about it!

@MichaelChaconchacon 3 года назад

@@Craftswright - you could do a batch run just using a cnc and small assembly line. Depending on the price point it might make sense. I would buy one for sure. If that works you can always expand manufacturing after that first run. The fence you could 3d print potentially, that would let you make a bunch at once.

@Guardian_Arias 3 года назад

@@Craftswright I went with an Ender 3 Pro, it definitely leaves you wanting a better machine BUT since its so cheap I've been able to upgrade and mod the printer to the point where I'm consistently under 0.004in but usually around 0.002in divination for about half the cost of a Prusa i3 including the printer cost. I would recommend the i3 if you don't want to spend the time tinkering with wires, hardware, and partial coding of the firmware (if you swap out the main control board for extra features) but in reality most 3D prints are a success or failure based on the settings you use to convert a 3D CAD to gcode just like a CNC machine. Woodworking has allowed me to make my own furniture and make my house more appealing but 3D printing has helped me make faucet parts, medicine stoppers, knobs and buttons for appliances/toys, and make some side money while im at work or in the shop and the printer is just going burrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

@alfabsc 3 года назад

This is an excellent jig for 3/8 inch dowels. It is nearly impossible to make dowel joints without a jig. I wondered why you used steel inserts instead of bronze? Bronze is a little kinder to your drill bit. Then I heard you say you were using Harbor Freight drill bit. Then steel or bronze doesn't matter. That bit comes pre-worn-out. 😊

@Craftswright 3 года назад

Bingo lol that and bronze bushings are more expensive 😬

@bighands69 2 года назад

Could I use 2 x 3/4 inch instead? Or 3/4 inch + 1/2 inch to get the same overall thickness? Is there an advantage to using baltic birch instead of a hardwood like red oak?

@JaMi-yt3ff 3 года назад

@smoterino Baltic birch is very stable and don't strech. Therefore it stays pretty precise. Yes you can use oak but you should be sure that is a good, long term dryed one and glue two plates together to ensure the warp-free of the wood. Yes you should make it so thick as shown. Because you make it sure that the drill is going in a rectangular direction in the drilled wood. Hope I could help out.

Some comments raised issues about potential difficulty in drilling accurate holes. A couple of ideas to add: use a scrap piece of wood to do you alignment on the drill press, using stops on either side as shown in the video, use a scratch awl or something similar to make an indent where you want the bit to go, and then make sure you use a drill bit, forstner or otherwise, that has a center spur deep enough to line up your drilling. I do think metric is easier in many ways.

@@Craftswright Well, this is embarrassing, I have discovered that the problem was due to my browser having "Ad Blockers" enabled which interrupted the normal software flow on the website. I turned them off for you website and immediately, the links worked as expected. I will be placing my order for the Dowel Jig plans. Thanks for what looks will be a very useful product! BTW, I love your videos - very informative!
