    I'm going to need some large dowels for an upcoming project, so I decided to experiment with different ways to go about that! This was a really fun experiment... I love that there is always multiple ways to achieve the same goal when woodworking

    I have a lot of old carpenters in my family and I have seen them make a 6 inch or larger diameter column with a circular saw or table saw, a belt sander belt, cut to one very long piece, and a great deal of elbow grease. (Usually supplied by the younger generation who were learning.)
    They'd start by gluing up stock to make their rough square column. Then they'd cut the corners, turning the square column into an octagon. They'd cut the corners again leaving sixteen sides. Once more leaving 32 sides, then they would make d-handle clamp blocks to clamp onto the ends of the cut sanding belt, and sand it round.
    This method takes time, however it has no upper limit to the size of the dowel / column you can make.

    For small diameter dowels (e.g. for joinery), it is easy to use a thread die and force a wooden block with a drill through the die. The surface is a little bit rough, but several passes with a folded sandpaper solve that. The nominal size of the die should be larger than the expected dowel diameter.

    It is not necessary to buy a dowel plate. One can be made to any size you want though this works for smaller sizes not 2" limited only be the available drill bits. If one has some steel stock it is only necessary to drill a hole through steel plate say 3mm or 6mm thick. Do not clean off the resultant burr as that is the cutting edge. It really is that simple. Drive the timber stock from the burred side. A commercial dowel plate will last longer because it will be made from harder steel but for an occasional run of dowels or if one needs dowels on the fly and a dowel plate is not available this is a good stand by.

    You can clamp a couple of “hoops” downrange to shepherd the spindle in its proper axis. It cuts down on whip. I’ve done this with a very long spindle myself, but I used a block plane. It was a lot like your chisel method, but the entry hole I fashioned was cone-like. I got a glass smooth finish, but I was using a wood that was a very good citizen. It wasn’t ash. 😆

    I thought using your router to make a dowel was quite innovative. I wonder if you had a second piece of wood with a hole, if it would add some stability to the wood once it goes out of the router. When you were pushing the wood through it the end of it look very wobbly. And also thank you for showing me a dowel making jig. I can't believe how easy it was just to hammer a piece of wood through a hole to make a dowel.

    Before I got my lathe I would do things this way. However I still sand dowels by pounding a socket on the end. Electrical tape helps hold it together if sockets and extensions are loose. (Your other hand is free for sanding) But while you're teaching yourself a strategy, you'll pick up 3 more in the process. You can also use hole saws to turn your pieces, as long as they are similar diameter. And if you cut the top of your hole saws out, and mount it good, that would cut dowels as well. What the hell, go buy yourself a wood lathe. They are so much fun! Oh, and most hole saws are not near long enough!! So...... Why couldn't somebody buy steel pipe? Cut teeth on one end, and screw a cap on the other with say....⅝" nut welded on top? This person could take 40 grit sandpaper and thin the pipe walls above the teeth (reducing friction) this person could make it 6" or even 12". She could even post it on her own channel and show us how it works😁

    I saw a video of another woodworker using a similar method to your router setup.
    He basically had a crosscut sled with high vertical end pieces. Then he had something attached to one end acting as a point on some sort of bearing holding the far end of the work piece. And then he attached a cordless drill on the other end of the work piece just as you did to spin it. Then he just turned on the table saw and pushed the sled over the blade. It looked like it worked incredibly well.

There are lots of others that use the same general method, but the first one I stumbled on seemed far superior in every respect. Can't seem to find it now though.

    I think the chisel method will produce the best finish and require little sanding if the angles are set correctly and possibly adding a second one to bring close to size and one to finish it. It would take some trials to figure out though.
    Another idea that would eliminate the issues that caused you to not like the method, would be to get a 3/8 or 1/2 high speed tool blank. They are usually used on metal lathes. Then make a matching square hole in the side of the wood block at the angle you want the cutter to sit. You can use a wedge or a set screw to hold the HSS bit. You can grind various profiles in the end of the bit to ease the rounding of the wood dowel.
    I have made 5in diameter cylinders on the table saw as well by drilling a 3/4in hole through a log, clamping two blocks at the ends of the table saw that are at least the cylinder radius plus the corners to be cut off high (in my case there were no corners), sliding the log over a steel pipe and clamping it to the blocks over the blade, and spinning it by hand raising the blade for each pass of 1/8 or so. The finish is ok, not taking too much sanding, and you can do any size easily by blade height and block size. It cuts faster than might be apparent because you can let the blade cutting forces spin it, and just keep enough pressure on it to keep it moving slowly. Putting the pipe at a 10-20 angle to the blade helps too.

    Some nice demonstrations there. I wouldn't give up too quickly on the mounted-chisel method. I know from experience that the results (with regard to smoothness and tear-out) are very sensitive to position and angle of the chisel. A small change can make a big difference.
    Here's another effective method: using a draw-knife, followed by a spoke shave at a shaving horse. For greater accuracy you can make a template as a half-round cutout in the side of a piece of cardboard (or aluminum flashing, or vinyl siding) to test the roundness when you begin getting close.

    I just happen to own a 3/4" roundover bit, so I guess I could make 1-1/2" dowels on my router table. I might tip down a bit of 2x4 and give that a try tomorrow.

    Thats the way i do things.
    The one with the router bit inside the the block has potential. The router is doing all the work so a much slower and gentler feed rate should produce a better dowel. Maybe slow the drill down.

  • @wickeddubz
    @wickeddubz 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Easiest and laziest method for dowels. Take thread cutting die 16 mm and clamp it well. Take piece of wood about 16mm diameter. Chamfer it and fix it into your drill. Insert another end of your wood piece into the die and pull the trigger. Vrrrroooommmm! Done. You’ve got dowel. Dowel diameter will be equal to internal diameter of the die. For instance 16 mm die will give you approx 13mm dowel. And so on. Sanding is optional, if surface is not sanded, it’s even better for gluing .

  • @drag0n4122
    @drag0n4122 ปีที่แล้ว

    Try using some replacement/old planer blades. And screw them down using a metal backing bracket . Right angles and screws will give you sufficient clamping action. And try mounting the blade at an angle so the dowl will start cutting at the max depth first and work. Into the minimum depth! If you cut or make the big whole piece of timber from 2 seperate sides and use bolts in the base and roof you could adjust the size ratio of the dowls.!🤔

And, if it were a real project, you'd stop in the middle and drive to Home Depot - at least twice..
    But what a great video. For me without even a shop, let alone a lathe, these ideas are going to help me make some great custom dowels and thread them differently on the ends of the same dowel... Ok, probably won't help me make great dowels but it will help me make some functional, serviceable, dowel projects. I'll let you know about "great" in 5 or 10 years.

  • @nakoawarrior3186
    @nakoawarrior3186 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The old way was to take a 2x2 about 2 foot long then you cut 3 square blocks.
    Say you want a 11/32 dowel/Arrow shaft.
    You drill that hole exactly in the center
    Then you put an 11/32 shaft through the blocks a and glue them in place,....one on the end,.....5 inches away another and 2 inches away another.
    with the shaft still in it you will clamp it on your router table till the bit touches the shaft.
    then you drill the first hole out to the diameter of the square.
    You will also find a socket that matches your square wood and chuck it in a drill and run it through.

    Thanks for a great video! I landed here while searching for "cutting wood dowel at 3d angles" :)
    I have a bar stool with round dowel-like legs. The legs are cut on the bottom (feet) such that the cut is perpendicular to the dowel axis, which makes the cuts not parallel to the floor. Do you have any advice on how to cut the legs to be parallel to the floor? I think it might involve cutting at 2 angles in 3-D but I'm looking for ideas and advice. One way might be to clamp the chair so that the seat is vertical (aligned with a level) then have a mitre saw cut a straight cut (no bevel, no mitre).

    I am always interested in alternatives, but these all seem needlessly labor intensive and very specialty (i.e., different time-consuming setups for different sizes) oriented.
    Yes, I grasp, not everyone has a lot of extra money for tools, but ... sometimes there is a reason for the tool to exist. ;-)

    There really needs to be better sources for round stock. While this is pretty ingenious of Tamar and I enjoyed watching it, we're essentially just talking about round stock of a species of wood, and it would be great if hardwood mills started making this stuff so woodworkers didn't have to design crazy jigs or have monstrous lathes sitting around.

  • @RickMeasham
    @RickMeasham ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for all these ideas. I'd seen the chisel one before, and suspect your results are due to the way you're having to push on the drill to keep it in contact with the screw. If you could spin the wood without pushing it through the jig at high speed it would make a far cleaner cut. For example, if you cut the head off a half-screwed-in lag screw then you could grip the lag screw shaft in the drill chuck and while it spins rapidly, you could push it through the jig slowly.

    Save your old or broken jig saw blades, embed two in channels on either side of a hole and hold down with screws, clamp it down, and drill a dowel.
    I've used this method for years on various custom sized dowels. Fine tooth blades make the cleanest dowels, but are also the slowest to cut.

    You really need some sort of outfeed stabilization to keep your dowel from hopping around like it does. That's why your end result coming out of the cutteer is so rough. I also wouldn't show the things that scare you like the last cut on this vid. There's a lot of idiots out thee that don't have the experience that you and I have, and they don't know shit... they're gonna get hurt.
