A few more dowel joints that were requested by viewers. If there's any joint you want demoed, post it below. If you requested one already and I haven't covered it, request it again. There's a chance I didn't see it.
Great job, @MattMadeIt123. I recently used the jig on the end of a small rail (3/4" X 1 3/8") that connected to a small table leg (1 1/4"). To get the holes where I wanted them in the end of the rail, I clamped a small block to the jig fence as a stop. It was easy and worked perfectly. I kept the test piece I used for the rail and was able to put dowels in it that registered it with the jig and reset the position precisely later on. Might be worth a video on using stop blocks and shims to finetune placement??? Just a thought. Thanks again for your terrific videos. So helpful!
Thanks for the idea! I regularly use stop blocks I have made with the Workstation. Jigs and fixtures are a must in the shop with just about every tool I use.
Great video. After watching your earlier videos I bought the stainless steel pro set and after market drill bits and collars when the JessEm drill bit and collars were on back order. I had a hard time stopping the jig from moving when drilling. I ordered the JessEm drill set and collars and it works now without moving. The error of my ways is that I tried to use brad point drill bits at first. The fluted sides of the brad point bits do not allow good clamping of the collars and the brad point tip applies to much twist leverage when plunging. I went so far as scuffing the clamping face of the jig with 150 grit thinking the film on the jig was the problem when it was the wrong drill bit that was the problem.

Thanks for sharing this info. It makes me want to try different bits in my jigs to see the results. Might make a good video.
@@MattMadeIt123 The brad point bits were Dewalt and
Yakamoz 8Pcs Drill Stop Collar Set Drill Bit Depth Stop Collars , both from Amazon.
Enjoy your videos, all the best for you and yours, keep well and raise hell. Dave & The Girls
