I recently pulled my tap and die’s out of mothballs to make the router ski’s posted here. Dowels are always nice to have especially when you don’t have them. Nice photo’s….....................

-- mike...............

Excellent! Another simple workable idea. Congratulations. I’ll try that. As a variation, there might be a similar arrangement other than the tap and die.

This goes in the idea file.

It’s always rewarding when you can come up with a working solution to a problem. It would be great to see the tool in action. Any chance of a video demo?

I think this is just wonderful ! I use dowels fairly often and I’ve just been buying them. I’ve thought many times I wish I could just make them but never tried. Thank you so much for the ” how to ”.

-- I'm so busy I don't know if I found a rope or lost a horse...

And not even one dime spent, except for a ruined die you probably never use. That’s a win my friend.
