Yikes, I hate making woodworking mistakes that I later need to go back and repair, that can take all the fun out of woodworking which is how I came up with this idea of the Dowel Planning Jig that anyone can make in clear plastic or even in wood, although the clear one is much more enlightening to work with, this Jig can save you time and enhance the strength of your projects by ensuring the wood you are using is being well supported by the dowels, as usual I use the Dowelmax jig because I have found it to be the most flexible doweling jig available today.

7:53 oops, you marked the holes on the top side of the bottom right piece in the wrong spot, should be closer to the right edge. I found this video very useful, thanks for sharing

I made 3d versions of these years ago. I don’t use it very often but when I do it’s very handy to have .

good video, just one tiny extra, put on the 1234 marking site a little extra marking on the very edge the center point of the four where all the four pieces come together so you directly know what is inside.

Oops! If you look closely at 7:47 it looks to me that the leg you are pointing to has been marked for the dowels incorrectly -- the edge you are pointing to looks correct, but if you look at the other edge of that same leg you will see that the dowel markings are towards the inside rather than the outside of the leg. It becomes clear if you then look at the lower left leg and notice how the dowel markings on the upper edge are to the outside, while the leg on the bottom right look to have those markings on the inside... I think that I'd prefer to mark the ends with the tried and true triangle method. Sorry to point this out.

I love this idea for these jigs! Thank you. I usually use 2 dowels per joint. Even when building with 4x4 posts and 2x4 aprons. It holds together just fine. Why use 3 or 4 dowels?

Dowel hole planning jig is exactly the same as my kids wooden construction toys part. Even better, they have 3, 4, 5, 6 holes version to choose from. Hard part is borrowing it from kids.😢

Great video. The 'carpenters triangle' is another version of your marking system Colin.

LOL and you still got some in the wrong place. I am glad I am not the only one that can do this. (The ones one III are on the inside and should be on the outside?) 😁

@troycogan1030 2 ай бұрын

Great concept but I’d personally go a 90’ angle profile and drill holes to suit an awl to correspond with your 2/3 or 4 hole jig gets rid of all the messy pen marks.

It's been a while since I've seen a video from you. Have I just been missing them somehow?

I was surprised you didn't just put *IV* at the 4th mark (Roman numeral)

@clydedecker765 2 ай бұрын

The one thing you did not really cover is the reveal or inset of the sides and selecting and marking them. I'd like to see variations on how much room looks best depending on the sizes of the wood and the table or whatever you build.

@darrinlindsey 2 ай бұрын

What was I supposed to get out of this? How to do the holes on table legs? Or, how to make the marking pieces? I don't understand any of the holes in the table leg part.

Hey Colin 👋 I also think you should say dowelmaxx. Also please stop laughing at holes it’s very distracting !

@kylerobinson2084 2 ай бұрын

... why not just use the dowelmax? you used the tool youre making a DIY version of the tool you used to make the DIY version ...

@BadSpock 2 ай бұрын

He did use the dowelmax. What he's making is not a drill guide. It's a layout tool for use with his doweling jig. It's a good concept... You could use whatever dowel jig you have. Using the dowel max as the layout tool wouldn't work very well since it took hard to get your marker or pencil into it.
