    Just used this technique to make some 19MM oak dowels to make bench dogs out of. Far easier than I expected, works super well and the dowels came out perfectly. I used a table saw at 45° instead of the router to make the stock into an octagon and put though the " giant pencil sharpener" from there.

    I got the grinding wheel at a yard sale, the buffing wheel from Lee Valley. But if you get yourself the right kind of wheel for a bench grinder, that should work too.

    Interesting idea. Would be hard to mount just right though, because they have a bevel on both sides. And the side force on them might also be a problem - harder to support the blade.

    Lee Valley's tenon makers work great to get the blank started. I made my 1/2" dowel maker w/ only 1/2" hole, and countersunk the entry hole instead of drilling it larger (cutting countersink BEFORE trimming to expose hole or it would destroy block). I reinforced the LEFT side by gluing a 1/4" thick piece of hardwood, and was able to use square blanks, w/o any roundover effort, but results are much less consistent than yours - some maple came out perfect, round, smooth, consistent, w/ shiny/burnished surface; a couple others wavered in diameter badly, but plenty usable stock. If I had roundover installed already, I do it your way, but for speed/convenience, I'll probably mostly use square stock in future, planning it slightly octagonal.

    That's a slick and efficient process for making your own wood dowels. The next step is to cut fluted or spiral grooves to enable doweled joints to hold wood glue without driving all of the glue from the joint when inserting the dowels into their holes, and also preventing the hole from becoming air-locked by the tightly-fitting dowel and thus making insertion impossible. Carry on.

    Hi Mathias, I'm a big fan of your videos. I've successfully made dowels using a nut in the right size e.g. 10 mm driving a 10 x 10 mm stick through the nut using a powered hand drill. I tried to improve the setup by cross carving some of thread away with a hacksaw. I had to use some force to drive the dovel thru the nut, but the setup was easily made :-) Br Jørn Koch

    Instead of going to all the trouble you do to rough out your blanks, make two step hole in a piece of lumber, clamp that to your table saw trying to get the apex of the blade close to the step at a 35 to 45 degree angle to the blade, and slowly raise the blade as you spin the blank with your drill. This will produce round blanks in a hurry, but leaves them rough, then they are easy to clean up in your dowel maker. I have a few sizes of sq. steel tubing that I made into chucks to use in the drill to spin the blanks. Little tip, when cutting the blanks to length I use a framing blade to get a rough surface then the friction between the first and second blank will spin the first one on thru the jig. With this setup I can rough out 10 4 ft. dowels a min. easy. Then you can finish them with you jig or a router style jig. I use the router jig, but it is harder to make.

    As everyone who watches cartoons knows, when two pieces of wood rub together, they always catch fire :) if it's tight, there is quite a bit of friction. My main concern is that the dowel may end up a little polished, which might not be the best for gluing.
