Make a Simple Doweling Jig

- This is a quick project that can be done in less than an hour. All you need is a couple of scraps of wood and two bushings, which can be found at almost any hardware store. It is very accurate, given you make the jig precisely.
Thanks for watching!

Simple, but helpful idea. As a Beginner, I often have trouble getting my projects "square". This is going to up my game tremendously. Thanks so very much.
That was pretty cool..thanks for taking the time to make the vid. the most clever part was using the clamp to get the metal cylinders into the jig....great idea.
At first I thought he was gonna hit it with a mallet, but that clamp trick was sweet.
Very cool technique. The line in the middle of the Hole to get perfect results is very clever. Also to draw a line on both woods to find the correct alignment is very smart... You saved me a lots of hours... Thank you very much.
I spent way too long googling how to do this and then found your video. Really solid, I love the sounds and how you showed how to do everything. Thanks bud
Moved to Japan 12 years ago. But, I worked in a wood shop part-time when I was in college. Those orange clamps bring me back!
I have seen a few variations on this simple jig, but yours is by far the best. The reason being the little center viewing hole which makes sure that the dowels will always match up perfectly. Excellent job as always! I am going to have to make one to go along with my Kreg system. I used to work in a framing place that made all kinds of picture frames. They would throw out little pieces of Oak, Walnut, etc. I wish I knew then, what I know now.
What you are doing and sharing with the rest of us is AWESOME! Thanks for the greats tip. Please keep posting stuff like this, I am eventually going to try and build my own kitchen cabinets and stuff like this is a great help!

Thank you! So glad you like what I'm doing! :)
made my single hole version this weekend, thanks for the idea! works great :)
Brilliant & Simple! If I had seen this video first, I would not have purchased the doweling jig that I am using now. Nice work......
All these quick tips and they have incredible workshops like we all have at home. I have a hand saw and a kitchen table and a mitre box for modelling so it's tiny.
I always had problems lining up matching Dowel Holes in opposing Timbers and was looking to purchase a Jig...that is until I saw your simple but very effective method... Thank you...you just saved me a small Fortune in time and money...I've also Subscribed to your Channel...
Thank you!
great editing ! nice job Jeremy- very clear communications.
Hello Jeremy, greetings from Brazil. Great and simple. //// Ola Jeremy, saudações do Brasil. simples e genial.
Making a simple doweling jig. Great for face frames!
Please comment below: do you like this style of video or do you prefer when I talk in the video? Thanks!
Jer's Woodshop I liked the video. It was crystal clear what was going on so talking wasn't necessary.
I have no real preference either way. Altough it is nice to be told the motivation or the reasoning behind actions. However, I am sometimes slightly annoyed by unscripted blabla with not much information. Which wasn't the case in any of your videos, yet.
Jer's Woodshop
talking is nice, too. this one was clear, this way. talking might be better other times. in any case, good job!
Jer's Woodshop Prefiro a imagem e a voz, uma coisa complementa a outra. Neste vídeo tudo foi compreendido, a edição foi perfeita, mas temos o poder da fala, então por que não usar?
Jer's Woodshop another great video Jer. I don't mind about the talking either way. This is a reasonably simple (but very useful) jig and your shots were very informative so there was no gaps in what was needed. Perhaps more complicated or less obvious steps in a project would need some clarification.
Thanks again for a great video.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback!
Just found your site, I enjoyed the dowel jig. Thank you for sharing your time and skills.
Thanks.
I'll make this jig as soon as possible! thanks!
Very impressive! I'm going to do this before my next shelving bookcase project. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Muito obrigado Jeremy. A execução de sua ideia demonstrou como coisas simples podem ser bastante sofisticadas. Parabéns. Desde o Brasil, Marcelo
Hi Jeremy.Project of your is easy ! Thank so much .I'll make this jig as soon as possible .
Great video Jeremy. Your choice to talk or not. It's your channel and your knowledge and experience that you are sharing. Maybe talk explaining features and where to get the brass bushings from. Thanks for sharing
You can find "bronze sleeve bearings" at larger automotive stores. To save the hassle, I buy them from McMaster Carr. 3/8" ID, 1/2" OD, 1" long $2.06 www.mcmaster.com/#6381k455/=16r0igq
Does it have to be brass?
Great stuff... so simple. Right on target for a cabinet project I'm starting. Thanks very much.

Thanks for watching!
I prefer the narration just to hear what you're thinking at the time. I just made a workbench - it looks like you need to do that too!
the best ideas are the simplest ones, just great. thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Nice simple jig! No talk was fine with me:)
☺️☺️☺️
Great design and a simple idea, the easier to make the better.
Thanks,
Barry from England.
Thank you!
I like that. Simple and very effective with that viewing hole. Now, have I got some sleeving lying around somewhere under that pile of offcuts!! I know I had some last month. I wonder where I put them.
Nice work! I will be making one of these as a cheap addition to the Kreg.
Nice , Jeremy. I just used my non- bushing jig. I'll be getting the bushings now.
Such a simple and effective idea! Nice!
Thank you!
Portugal!!
@@MrPmjg wtf
I like how you built the jig. Pressed the sleeve in rather than pounding it in with a hammer.
That's awesome! Stronger than pocket holes and just as simple.
Yes! Thank you!
This video was quite clear in its instruction, but I tend to like "author voice overlays" with tutorials like this. Just my personal preference. As is, the video still freak'n rocks. Simple, functional elegance that when I see it I ask myself "Why didn't you think of that?", but of course I never would have. Thanks for making the vid and posting. I'm definitely gonna make one of these jigs. I'll be doweling things together non-stop for the next three years! Seriously, great tutorial. Thanks again.
Thank you for the feedback!
very, very good!!! I will try to make one! Thank for the tip!
- Thanx 4 sharing how to make this VERY useful tool.
An excellent jig and very useful
Thanks
Brilliant and simple.
Fantastic. Thank You. You just made my life a lot easier.
This is fantastic, especially since the other dowel jig builds I've watched all require plexiglass. Yeah, that would be a little advantageous, but I just don't have any lying around the shop, and don't feel like buying some. ;-) Thanks for this! Yeah I do have to buy some bushings but whatever, right? I have a few blocks of maple that would be perfect for this...
Nice jig, very well made....
this and some other woodworking videos made my hobby/winter job a lot easier.
thanks.
Good to hear. Thanks for watching!
Excelente video, aprendo mucho con sus técnicas, muchas gracias y bendiciones
Vraiment ingénieux. J'ai fais une économie de presque 200€ si j'avais fait l'achat d'un appareil. Merci JER'S WOOSSHOP.
Very cleaver! I will have to make one. I haven't used dowels since high school and this tool will allow me to do it accurately. Thanks for the video and your design.
Thank you!
Simple and perfect...loving your channel
Nice and simple. Great job!
Excellent, you have just saved me a small fortune. Thanks.

Simple yet brilliant idea.
Hi Jeremy. thanks for the video. I was watching you put together the frame near the end of the video and noticed that you were doing it kneeling on the floor... without any protection for your knees. I know that this may sound weird, but you should protect your knees... You're a young guy but give it another 15-20 years (which, trust me, will sneak up on you fast) and you will start to feel some serious pain in your knees if you don't treat them well now. :)
I totally second this! Please be kind to your knees! Your videos are incredible btw
Third!
Great little jig. Well made, keep the clips coming.
Thank you!
Very clever. Thanks for sharing.
the fittings are crazy nice

Awesome jig! Thanks.
Nice project!!
Awesome job. I think I'll make a set for a couple different sizes. Thx for posting.
Thanks.
Excellent video. I had to slow it down to 25% speed to read the name of the metal collar thing. But thanks for including that part where you open the drawer at the home improvement store
It"s well. На шканты собрать раму - оригинальное решение! Приспособление понравилось. Like
Great work man! Wery simple and wery usefull. I will try to make one jig for my use. Thank for the idea.
+Josip Koprivanac Thank you!
I am in the need for the device to repair an old dinning room table. will also need it to build a cabinet skeleton. thank you for the video
Fantastic. You are a true master.
Im proud of your trade. Thanks
Nice job! I really like your projects and jigs. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!!
Good job, I like the alignment hole.
Excellent work.
Good work on the jig, I like the simple approach and the brass bushes will provide accuracy and durability. I would suggest for the frame you were making, that you drill all the holes first, and take more effort in spreading the glue into the holes, and check across diagonals for square after clamping.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing
Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
all brilliant and simple
Simples, objetivo e perfeito!
great work buddy! i recently stumbled on your channel and cant wait to see more videos from you.
Thanks!
I can't believe I haven't made one of these yet. Great video, Jeremy. I personally like this style of video more, but maybe add titles in certain places to give details where your commentary would have. Then viewers can know exact sizes of hardware like those bronze sleeves.
Parabéns pela criatividade com o gabarito Jovem!
Thanks Jeremy, I went to Home Depot and found 3/8" utility copper tube, it's 2' long for $4.28 and it takes a 5/16" dowel rod that's 4' and it's $.90. So you can make a lot of them and have plenty of dowels. Hope this helps.
+tim hankins
Just something to point out - you might need to flute that dowel, to create a groove for excess glue/air to escape. That's why I just spend the extra money to get pre-made dowels that are already fluted.
A guy who worked in a commercial shop told me that they routinely cut their own dowels from "dowel rods" and then "crimped" them with vise grips to create the grooves. I use this technique whenever one end of the dowel will be visible in the final project, because I can leave the last 1/2" of the dowel "uncrimped" for a cleaner look.
thats incredible and an amazing idea!
Excellent design!
Very cool idea!
Muy buena idea!..Saludos desde Puerto Rico, mi isla del encanto.
Ótimo gabarito!
Parabéns.
Sou seu fã.
I' m a tool and die maker, and i made a jig out of metal, just like yours and it works perfectly.
Brilliant! 🤩 Congrats to a very successful video. Well deserved!
Increíble trabajo. Simplicidad y bien hecho!
Gracias por compartirlo.
Saludosbdesde Chile
gracias!
Great idea man thank you
Very nice, thanks! 👍🏼
another great video. thanks for sharing this :)
Did the jig but I had to buy tubing from H.D. and cut to size at home and it was something like 3/32 on the O.D. so the inner was 3/8 but had to make the holes bigger to fit them in and that drill bit, I set a set of regular ones due to the inner holes one will do the 1/2'' and the other the 3/4 . shoot, need a drill press for perfection on holes .
felicitaciones es un proyecto rapido facil y practico jorge de argentina
Great idea, tanks for share.
Excelente, se aprende mucho gracias.
