Here is a project for finding the center on the end of a dowel.
All holes are 1/64" undersize to fit the hardware store overseas dowels
This project requires the purchase of dowel centers. These are little metal pieces with points on that you would normally put in your dowel joint hole to
make a locating point on the other board you are trying to aline with it.
The holes are drilled for the undersize dowel 3/8" deep and then counterboard for the dowel centers to fit in the bottom of the hole.
The hole sizes are for dowels 1 1/8"--1"--3/4"--5/8"--1/2"--and 3/8".
This is a fun and useful project , and an example of drilling one hole on top of another.
The last hole to the right is to hang it on your pegboard hook. Later Daniel
