Wow - got to watch that box video too. Thanks for sharing great ideas.

👍Brilliant, Ingenious extremely helpful. As amature wood worker really appreciate new ideas. Thank you. Continue great work

Wow, awesomeness! I really love the unique looks!

Love this tutorial and how well you show and explain the process and results.

This is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for your attention to detail and your clear instructions

Simply put ingenious absolutely thanks for sharing

LOVIT, Awesome Jig and Thx’s for Sharing !

Beautiful. I love using dowels and these are so unique and cool looking.

You sir, are a genius...

Brilliant, mate!

Let us all pay respect to the *DOWEL* :) :) great job Rob, I love the look of both styles :)

Very artistic, that extra detail adds so much that it opens up another aspect of creativity in woodworking

Nice build. Taking dowels to the next level!

I don't have a table saw. But with my skills, I really can use this jig in other ways. And still have the same thing. Thanks for the inspiration.

That’s very cool 😎

Really cool and useful 👍

Very cool build I was waiting for the overkill version. Lol!!!

It's nice to have some alternatives to finger joints and dovetails that look good. Nice work Rob!

Nicely done Rob, taking dowels to the next level!

Awesome! Good patience test lol

That is a cool jig! I don't typically use dowels, but I may start after watching this!

These are very cool! You always have amazing jigs!

Very cool jig. Think I may steal this idea for my own.

While the split and double dowels were indeed cool, the building of the jigs were far more interesting to me personally. The narration and video were top notch and kept my attention to such an extent, I largely forgot why you were building the jigs in the first place. Well done sir.

Amazing

Nice video. Awesome jig. Great engineering! Mahalo for sharing. : )

Nice jig! Wood does are something I use on many of my projects. I really like the look they give.

Another beautiful job Jig Master. And another excellent vid - I liked the 'fly-around' near the end. I'm so impressed with your attention to detail in all your efforts. I hope you'll excuse me now, I have to watch that box being made...

... Ingenious ...

Hi Rob, great project, the box looks really cool with those dowels👌

This is great work- such a cool jig. I'll also suggest another option, for anyone like me who's too lazy to make something like this 😉. Rockler sells a really useful jig named the "corner key doweling jig" that's meant for reinforcing miter joints with dowels. It allows you to drill holes for 1/8, 1/4, and 3/8 inch dowels, and because of this, you can also create the "double dowel" effect shown in this video. I know Rockler stuff tends to be waaaay too expensive, but this jig is actually a good deal at only $50 (well, a good deal for a Rockler product, anyway). I've used it for this effect numerous times, and it's always come out great. Don't mean to take attention away from your effort here, just throwing in a suggestion in case anyone's interested in a pre-fab jig. Keep up the great work!

Dowels now can look beautiful! You are really clever.

Nice! Pretty clever man.

Great work on the double dowels jig Rob! it really gives it a nice touch :) Thank you for always sharing your videos with us.👌👍😎JP

awesome! nice video!!

good video, lots of details on the steps to do this. I would have liked to see a few second clip at the beginning to see where we were headed. then I would know how each step fits intot he whole thing. Wothouot that, I watch the whole thning to see the end (how it works) and then have to watch it again to uhderstand the order of the steps and how they lead to the whole project. Thanks for sharing

Way to cool

Great job Rob! You have a new subscriber.....................

That's pretty cool, Rob! Billy

that's a lot of work, but the end result looks pretty great. nice idea!!

The flat head look also looks like a coffee Bean, you could do that for coffee accessories.

Hullo young man. I have had 3 bags of dowels at the back of one of my cupboards since (I forget). I new I kept them for a reason.

hot jiggity jig ! looks great man - can't decide which one I like best. Probably the screwdriver version - looks cool offset at different angles. Bonus for me is that we are still looking good with respect to this not infringing on my dowel jig idea so I may still go ahead with that 😁

This was a complicated build in my opinion. Do you happen to have a longer version of this vid? Love the vid though and the jig.

I subscribe to another channel from Australia. This guy made a dowel maker jig with a thick steel bar. My Son is a welder and he gave me one. I like using dowels for certain things so I decided to try it out. His is all metric 5-10.5 by half's. Mine will include SAE and METRIC and your dowel jig will hang next to it. With only so many projects, my biscuit jointer may gather more dust.

Great Job. Just one problem for some reason I want to buy some tinker toys.

Great idea. When and how did you fill the dowel cutouts?

very nice, as an added look rotate the slotted dowel 90 degrees cut another slot and you can make a Philips dowel

You said you would put the link for the featherboard in the description but I don't see it. You mind sharing it? Thanks!

Nice winters day shop job, Looks nice. Did you know isopropyl alcohol releases hot glue?

A pen turners centering clamp would be another easy option for centering the dowels on the drill press.

Nice build. Would this be difficult freehand on the bandsaw with a fence?

Nice job, I like it. I will trim the 10-32 screws at the end of the nut. I don't like them sticking out so far as your's. The length is not needed. JIM

Great idea! Have you tried using these for splines/ keys in the corner of a mitered box?

It’s different mate, I like dowel joinery but never seen it like this before, I must of missed a video if you’ve one in the links, cheers 👍

Turn the dowel 90 degrees and you will have a Phillips head dowel

All that work and the saw cut wasn't even central. What a shame

This would have been easier to understand if you had started the video with how split and double dowels worked, and what the jig was intended to do.

WAAAAAAAAY TOO COMPLICATED
