Turn Scrap Wood Into Dowels With This DIY Dowel Maker.

Dowels may not look like much, but these actually create strong connections between wooden pieces. Using dowels for your wooden pieces eliminates the need for staples, screws, and nails, and even produces a more refined finish. While you can easily buy dowels from your local hardware store, you can easily create your own using simple tools.

For this DIY project, you’ll learn how to build your own dowel maker using steel stock and your drill. Having a DIY dowel maker doesn’t only allow you to create dowels, but will also help you put those extra wood to good use.
