I have watched all of your videos and learned so much. Not a second of my time was ever wasted. A genuine thank you!
Thank you! 🙌👍
Haven't watched all of them, still working my way through, but couldn't agree with you more when you say '' Not a second of my time was ever wasted '' A great bit of luck finding this channel for me. Cheers
i couldn't agree anymore to your message
Finally Mr M shows us weekend woodworkers how to produce domino style accurate joints at beer money prices 😀 ... This is why I subscribed to the channel
Thanks Kevin! 👍
Unless you can reference of the edge of your panel or bit of wood it is impossible to use those little jigs accurately.
Thanks so much for this video, I think I now know how to use a dowel jig! The using the point of the drill bit to mark is especially useful.
With years of using dowels in the past I never knew that about using the notch on the dowel guide when doing a T joint. Every day is a learning day. Nice work Peter!
Thanks Ian! 👍👍
I had the exact same "ahhhhhhhhhh ok" moment.
Same, fantastic!
Me too! Feeling very stupid now!!
At the moment you have a 99.7% approval rate of this video. You've earned it. Thank you.
Thank you! 👍👍
A link for this video should come with every dowel jig, great job PM.
Now *that* would get the viewing numbers up! Thanks! 👍👍
I bought one of those about 20 years ago at a flea market for a dollar. I never did figure out how to use it properly - now I know. Thanks!
Thanks! 🙌👍
Great video, some new ideas and techniques. Thank you.
Brilliant videos, love your channel Peter.
Cheers Danny! 🙌👍
Thanks Dad- I mean random guy on the internet
The "quick tip" at the end was super excellent!
Glad it helped! 👍
Excellent explanations, loud and clear! Great photography and editing. Thanks!
I can't believe how useful that jig is. Especially the t junction method.
Yes, very! Mighty impressive for a pocket-money jig. 👍
Thanks Peter . I bought the Wolfcraft jig and was having no luck with its use, despite a TH-cam demo video. Now I can see why. Thanks.
Exactly what I needed to see before deciding which jig to buy. Always helpful and spot on.
Exactly what I was looking for today! Thank you for putting this video together two years ago Peter, it's still providing value!!!
I have been meaning to buy a dowel jig , just a hobbyist, this is a great alternative to the festool .
Thanks, great clear communication. I intend making drawers to go under the counter in my allotment potting shed and found this tutorial helpful.
Peter,
Thank you so much for your videos. I used panel joints quite often this winter whilst constructing nesting boxes from rough-sawn cedar planks. Did so to give me the wide dimension which is hard to find with cedar lumber. Cheers from Michigan, USA.
I learnt more of this video than i have the last 10 videos. I can actually make a straight dowl line up. Thank you for this video. I have had that tool for a long time and could never make it line up straight. A++++++++
Just stumbled on this one and I'm now going to see the others. Very pleasant and very complete. Thanks.
Thanks a ton. I was given one of these and I had no idea how to use it. Perfect! Many thanks again
Really one of my favourite video about the Dowelling Jig, you covered everything
Thank you Peter, very simple & clear explanation.
Thanks Peter for these tips. Just what I needed, everytime!
Just the instructional video I needed. Thanks again for adding to your library of how to videos. Brilliant
Thank you! 👍
A pleasure to find & learn great tips to complete accurate joints Thank You
That was really well done, Peter! Every time I watch a video like this one I feel that I'm picking up ideas that will help me increase precision beyond the task at hand - like the brad point bit for alignment.
Thank you! 👍
Enjoyed this. I have one in a drawer… it’s just reinforced that I do actually really want a Domino! 🤭
Great video and thank you. I just bought one of the Wolfcraft ones and the tips and tricks will come in very useful.
I watched your cabinet basics series and enjoyed and learnt so much from it. This dowel basics was just what I needed next, so thank you very much. Brilliant and off to order a dowel jig now.
Thank you! 👍
This video made this process effortless! I love learning how to join wood without using fasteners. Gonna get one of these jigs and start practicing this.
Blummin' brilliant Peter ... thank you so much. Just bought the jig, using your link.
I have this exact jig and have never used dowels or a jig before. This was perfect. Thank you 🙏🏻
droping the drill bit is such an easy tip i cant believe i never thought of it. Thanks!
You have a clear gift for offering up clear and easy to understand directions. Thanks for this video.
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching! 👍
That was a great video, it was certainly far better than the other videos I watched on installing dowels. Thank You. ❤
My kit was delivered this week. Thank you for doing this video. Certainly has helped for when i start making my shelving unit
Fantastic - glad it was helpful! Let me know how you get on 👍
Just bought a dowel jig and it didn’t come with instructions so, so glad to stumble over this vid. Very clear and helpful guidance. Thank You so much for your honest presentation :)
Peter, thank you. The clamping tips addressed my concern with trying to handhold the jig and drill the hole at the same time.
You, are a great teacher, cause you seem to enjoy what you do.... many thanks from Malta
Made my next project so much easier. Thank you!
Hi Peter, the more the merrier! Every time I watch your videos I learn something new. Keep up the good work thank you
Steve
Thanks Steve! 👍
I just already purchased. Must have in the workshop. Thanks 👍
Super helpful for me. Thanks for posting this video!!
Thanks Peter. I’ve got a Wolfcraft jig but it’s languishing in the toolbox as I bought a Kreg pocket hole jig system. Probably because I hadn’t seen many TH-cam videos on how to use the dowel jig properly. Thanks for the pointers. I’ll have more of an idea now and can reference back if I do a few dowel joints. Many thanks. 👍🏻
Thank you so much. Greetings from Spain.
Thanks so much for 14 mins of great instruction. You are right up the top of an extensive list of make and do subs I have and I think you are getting better despite your great back catalogue and long experience, that takes some doing, and you are doing it. All the best 👍
Thank you! 👍👍🙌
Thanks Peter, another wonderful basics video. I’m just about to L joint on a project. I’ve had a dowel jig for a good number of years but I thought I’d look up a ‘how to video’ just to make sure I wasn’t missing a trick. I naturally went to you video first and was not disappointed to find I’d missed a couple of tricks not just one. The notch on the side is new to me, also not using a Brad point drill bit was good to know about.
Please keep up your superb content they make every day a school day.
Ken Myerscough, Southport UK 👍
It’s the first of your videos I’ve watched and really enjoyed it. Cheers
Thanks, and welcome! 👍
Excellent video Peter extremely helpful thanks for posting 👍
Thanks! 👍
That brad-point bit trick to align the jig to your mark is fantastic. Worth the view.
Thanks! 👍
Thank you so much I’m very new to woodworking and ordered one and had no idea how to use it and thanks to your video I have no problem! Thanks again your video was very helpful and easy to follow along with
Good tips! Always learn something useful from your videos! Thanks!⭐️
I'm not sure I've ever done any woodwork (other than a few weeks at school) yet I've watched countless hours of your videos and enjoyed them all.
Glad to hear it, thanks! 👍
Useful video as always Peter, thank you!
Thanks Christian! 👌
Thank you for an amazing video. I will be giving the a try in order to make a few basic cabinets
I have a Wolfcraft jig set and have had it for more than 10 years. Comes with dowels drills etc, AND it's identical to the 'cheap' jig that you used. I have used it maybe five or six times in the 10 years, as I didn;t find it easy to use. Today, watching your video I learn a lot. I think that you can rest assured that I will be using it a lot more in the future. Thank you Peter.
Wonderfully explained and demonstrated Peter, I've had one of those dowel jigs for some years and never got to use it, now i feel confident to try it. Thanks.
Brilliant! Video. Had one for years but never understood it until now? Well done.
Very useful tips Peter, thanks & great video as always.
Thanks! 👍
Thanks Peter for all of your great videos, I struggled with this one even with clamps as I kept getting sideways movement out by a mm or so. I came across a video by Mardak workshop (how to use a doweling jig step by step). He does not mark the piece up at all instead using a dowel in a prior hole to line up the hole on the adjoining piece with the slots at the back of the jig. It worked a treat as locked everything into place so felt more stable.
Excellent as always Peter.
Great tips. Such a clever little tool!
Brilliant video, just got a metal dowel jig, cannot wait to try after watching this. You are the best❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for doing this video, Peter! I was thinking of using this approach for sideboard I want to build. I just wasn't sure about how to get the T-joints right. But now I am! Thanks again!
Thanks Marco! 👍
Great I've just got back into dowles again after years away so thanks for the video keep up the great work
Thanks! 👍
I had my dowel jig on order, then found your film, brilliant thank you.
When the jig arrives I now had a good idea how to use it, a fantastic film, much appreciated.
I’m now also a new subscriber to your channel, perfect, kind regards.
Yes, I really enjoyed your explanation. It'll make my life a lot easier when it comes to drilling for those pieces to match...
Thank you sir, direct to the point as I like.
Another great tips video Peter. Thank you for sharing
Thanks Phil! 👍
Thank you being new to woodwork and a complete novice I have fought with this jig in the past, now look at it with fresh eyes- now what to build!!!
Ah - what to build is the easy part! 😆 👍
Well done directions. Made it very easy to understand. Thanks
Great timing on this tutorial, Peter. I’ve always used screws, and occasional nail, but recently purchased a very similar doweling jig and haven’t used it yet. Now I have more confidence in using it, thanks to your video, and have to give it a try soon. Love the drill point aligning tip and the centering trick at the end of the video. They will be very handy. Thanks, and yes, please keep the tutorials coming. They are great for us folks that don’t get to do much woodworking of any kind.
Thanks! My jig also has slots in the fence that are meant for alignment, but they’re not accurate enough on mine, unfortunately. 🤷♂️👍
Thank you Peter I bought this jig two years ago and never quite figured out how to use it, I have certainly learned a lot today
Thanks Kevin, glad to hear it! 👍
Recently got myself an old wolfcraft dowel jig, the one that comes as a set which is similar to your blue one and used it to make a small wall hung cabinet. Some great tips in the video, some I had learned the hard way (the dowel holes not being quite deep enough) and a few I hadn't picked up on. Thanks 👍🏼
Thank you! 👍
Great explanation of all the features, including the end tip.
Thanks! 👍
Thx for sharing. Very easy to follow.
Thank you very much. I have one of these jigs but never knew how to use it. Much appreciated.
No problem 👍
Just bought the jig. Presumed I'd be able to work it out as I am a D&T teacher but having just watched the video I would have missed half the benefits and such clever simple tips that will make it so much more useful. Thanks very much, I'll pass them on to my pupils.
Thank you! 👍
I have to say, again, what a great vid this is. I am using it as a reference video for dowel usage.
It also really interesting to see what a simple tool in the hands of an experienced woodworker can result in. IMHO this kills the whole «if I had - I could» debate in one fell swoop.
Thanks Goran! 👍👍
Just used the wolfkraft jig at the end of this video. That’s for the Brad point tip to centre the dowel. Worked a treat.
Thanks for keeping it simple.
Good vid. Straight forward and easy to follow. I got one of these jigs a couple years ago but could not figure out how to use it! Now I'm gonna be jigging my heart out! Lol
Always learning from you,Thank you
Excellent video as always.
Great video Peter, very helpful!
Thanks a lot! I just learnt how to use this tool!! Brilliant!
Peter thank you so much for this awesome explanation on how to use the dowel jig correctly , i bought a kit over 2 years ago , in frustration i put it away , the original video looked so easy , after seeing your instruction i think i might pull it out again and give it another go , again thank you so much for this great video series
Thanks, great to hear it helped! 👍
Oh my god....... Life changing! I've been watching woodworking tutorials on TH-cam since 2 years ago, and I am so surprised that I've only encountered your videos recently.. Thank you SO very much for the amazing explanations! I actually have the dowel tools but never dared to use them. Time to put those dusty tools to good use!
Lots of love from Malaysia!
Thank you! And best wishes from London! 👍
As always, sir, this was very clear and very informative. Thanks!
Thanks! 👍
Great video. As a relative beginner videos like this are really useful in helping to hopefully get started making some decent quality items with cheaper tools and limited experience. Thanks!
Thank you! 👍
Excellent video, to the point, thank you
An excellent video ... Thank you!
Another excellent video -as always
Thank you so much for that. For those of us who do "woodworking" (I say that loosely) as a hobby using dowels would be the way to go, well for me anyway. These are just the sort of videos I really enjoy.
Thanks! 👍
I have been using dowels for jointing for a lifetime, but I still got something out of this Peter. Thanks.
Thanks Norman! 👍
Thanks again for another video that explains things in a way that's easy to understand (unlike most instruction manuals!) Once again invaluable advice before I went ahead and made a purchase, cheers Peter
Thank you! 🙌👍
Another excellent "how to" video Peter. Thank you..
Thanks! 👍
Thanks sir it's really helpful
Just yesterday I bought this dowel but don't know the way of use you explain in a very nice way its helps not only perfect joints also faster then ever
