  • @espirates2 if you dont nail too deep you should be able to rip it off by hand

  • How do you get the thing off once you nailed it in ? That wasn't in the video.

  • That is bloody clever! Many thanks for the upload canadianhomeworkshop

  • Good video! I guess this is an old timer's trick and it works well. Many craftsmen including myself make our dowel jigs. You can use steel guide bushings inserted in blocks of wood to make your own inexpensive dowels jigs...any configuration or number of holes you like. I bought my steel bushings from lee valley. around $2. dollars ea. There are lots of suppliers of steel bushings on the internet to make your dowel jigs.

  • I used .69 cent brass guides. !/4 inch ID. man it works awesome. tagged on a plastic side, with center mark. as good as $50.00 units. needed it for some window jamb extensions when nothing else could work..only had 7/8 inch of space.. really is accurate..

  • Instead of nailing the jig to the piece, have you tried clamping it to the piece instead? Great video! Will make one of my own using brass bushings for the jig holes. Thanks for the great idea.
