Great question. I tried to remove the dowels without drilling them off camera, but the dowels on those tenons either still had glue on them or had swelled in the holes as they would not pull out. This is an issue i have run into multiple times, also putting a screw into the end of the dowels can make them larger on the end and also jam them.
Good advice! I have seen Tom Johnson do a screw in the dowel to pull it out, so I have done that in the past as well. Have you worked with square-faced dowel pins on a tenon and mortise joint? I am restoring an 1820s French cabinet and the dowels are squared on the front, which I have never seen before. I have to remake the dowels by hand and I am worried about not getting the right fit.@@AussieWoodshed
@@nathan_agnewsounds like a great restoration project. I haven't ever worked with square faced dowels, the closest i have seen was square pegs knocked into round holes, i guess that worked because the peg was slightly larger and harder than the tenon timber. I guess a trial and error slowly pairing them to get them to fit approach may be the way to go, i don't think there is any easy way to batch square faced dowels. Good luck with your restoration

Easy to follow instructions for a scary subject. Thanks.
Glad you liked the video. Hope it helps you out.
Genuine question, why didn’t you just screw into the tenons and pull them out? I feel like drilling causes more harm than good.
