    I have been watching a lot of these dowel making jigs lately, and really like the way Izzy goes the extra steps with the cutting off of the extra corners on the original wood stick, then fitting a socket knuckle on the end of it etc, - Good work Iz

    Watched a bunch of dowel making videos. Love yours. Made it, works great. Thank you boss.

    Rarely do I ever comment but this video warrants a big shout out to you, Izzy. Thanks to your simple, yet ingenious little jig and demonstration, I made beautiful and accurate 3/8" cedar dowels. Thank you, sir, for sharing your engineering mind and expertise with the rest of us.

  • @mikefreeman3772
    @mikefreeman3772 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Nicely done, great video. Mount an additional block of wood with the 3/4" hole about 12" away from the "chisel" to function as a stabilizer sleeve to reduce that dowel machine wobbling.

    Dear Sir!
    Yes I am a wise man or a dowel so far bought them after I finished item based on the video, thank you to put it up. I'm from Hungary Mustache

  • @tyvole2387
    @tyvole2387 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks, Izzy, that's so fast and straightforward. The socket drive is killer. I'm already thinking in terms of legs for simple stools, tables etc. It would make a great jumping -off point. A variant having an adjustable depth stop with a skateboard bearing in line with the axis and perpendicular sliding block on a horizontal cam clamp to hold a gouge or skew chisel could be added for some further shaping. Behold, (almost) instant basic lathe! Sure, it would chatter a bit, but so what?

    Genius using a socket to hold your stock. Absolutely Genius.

  • @jamesphillips1175
    @jamesphillips1175 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    never thought of doing it like that. I've always just drilled the size hole I needed in a piece of angle iron just cut my stock square tapered the end to fit in hole just drilled it through but you have to go back and forth a lot to get it smooth. I'm going to try yours.

  • @davewave3753
    @davewave3753 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    would adding a second piece of pine with the 3/4" hole drilled in it directly behind the one you used to cut the dowel make operation even more stable?

  • @Cfbcreations
    @Cfbcreations 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the tip Izzy. This is a much cheaper method for me because dowels seem to be rather expensive here in Japan. Keep up the good work, and I appreciate the videos you make.

    Thank you, Mr. Swan for another GREAT video!
    BTW, I shared this one w/ James Wright at "Wood by Wright".
    He did a video where he tried to make a dowel jig but it didn't work really good like yours.
    Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

  • @bobd.

    Thanks Izzy. I need some cedar plugs to cover screws and bolts in outdoor furniture and cedar dowel is not easy to find if it's available at all. This should work for my needs.

    A guide on the out feed side (adjustable of course) might help with consistency.

  • @robertoldendorf3856
    @robertoldendorf3856 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks, so simple, I could do it. Sort of the same trick for tapered pins.
    I suggest harder wood, to keep the hole from wearing out to a larger size.

  • @mattvergauwen5307
    @mattvergauwen5307 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    That's pretty nice! And as an added bonus you could also use it to sharpen those giant pencils 😉

  • @briansimard
    @briansimard 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    wow i tried this and it worked perfectly first shot! 1/4 inch dowel out of purple heart, and paduak within 1/100th of an inch!
    The only problem I had was trying to use very long blanks I think because of small size of the dowel.

  • @sipp5575
    @sipp5575 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The traditional tool for making dowels is a dowel plate, an iron (or better, hardened tool steel)
    plate with a hole having the size of the desired dowel. To make a
    dowel, a piece of wood is split or whittled to a size slightly bigger
    than desired and then driven through the hole in the dowel plate. The
    sharp edges of the hole shear off the excess wood.[1][2][3] (cut and pasted from wikipedia) a dowel made from split wood is stronger than cut wood..this is a much slower method and will not produce dowels as uniform as the dowels in the vid..i like your vids izzy, well worth watching

    If you had a thicker block would that help in keeping the feed straight all the way through? I saw something similar to this on the Woodwright's shop on PBS, you make this look very approachable!

    I also thinking that a thicker out feed would do more for stabilizing the future dowel.

    @ChaseSprouse 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    you could also use some boards with 3/4 or whatever dowel size you're making and put it on the side where the dowel comes out so it's like a guide and maybe it wouldn't jump when you get to the end of the dowel

    HA! great minds think alike... well I give my self too much credit... but after fussing about trying to widdle down the end of stock to fit in my drill and getting frustrated with how much it weeble wobbles (AvE) I gots to thunkin' and hammered on a socket on the end. Work like a charm. Haven't seen anyone on YT do that yet... till now! :)
