    Thanks Peter, another wonderful basics video. I’m just about to L joint on a project. I’ve had a dowel jig for a good number of years but I thought I’d look up a ‘how to video’ just to make sure I wasn’t missing a trick. I naturally went to you video first and was not disappointed to find I’d missed a couple of tricks not just one. The notch on the side is new to me, also not using a Brad point drill bit was good to know about. Please keep up your superb content they make every day a school day. Ken Myerscough, Southport UK 👍

    I have a Wolfcraft jig set and have had it for more than 10 years. Comes with dowels drills etc, AND it's identical to the 'cheap' jig that you used. I have used it maybe five or six times in the 10 years, as I didn;t find it easy to use. Today, watching your video I learn a lot. I think that you can rest assured that I will be using it a lot more in the future. Thank you Peter.

    Thanks Peter for all of your great videos, I struggled with this one even with clamps as I kept getting sideways movement out by a mm or so. I came across a video by Mardak workshop (how to use a doweling jig step by step). He does not mark the piece up at all instead using a dowel in a prior hole to line up the hole on the adjoining piece with the slots at the back of the jig. It worked a treat as locked everything into place so felt more stable.
