Band Saw Dowel Jig

You sir, are a genius.

That’s another cool jig and here is a little device I use to make it easy to chuck the blank to the drill.

1/4”hex to 1/2” socket adapter and a socket to fit the blank ,saves time and won’t chew up the end .

Pretty cool, saved on favorites, thanks!

-- Just because you’ve always done it that way doesn’t mean it’s not incredibly stupid.

kiefer,
Is that one of those sockets with a bunch of pins in it? That’s a great idea! Thank buddy! I’ll give that a try.
I’m going to turn all my stick scraps into all different size dowels with this method. No more waste!
Now I must find one of those sockets! :)

Awesome project, love it. I’ll have to start doing this, went and bought some dowels the other day and they were made in China! Seriously, we can’t even make dowels in the US anymore? Well thanks woodshaver, I’ll make my own for now on!

Boy, that’ll save me a lot in dowel $, and use up some of those small scrap pieces.
Thanks a bunch.

That is just a deep socket from my socket set but your idea of one of those sockets that fit’s different sizes maybe a better way yet ,they where on sale yesterday at Canadian tire .

Thanks for sharing. I want to do some dowel through joints and wondered where I could get dowels in different woods. I think I found my source. It’s my scrap pile and my band saw. Thanks again!

Good thinking.
