I haven't read all the replies, but I make my own dowels by hammering, with a mallet, a loosely rounded piece of wood using a coarse surform, through metal with a hole drilled in to the size I want, the sides of the hole acting as the trim for the dowel. This gives me a length of dowelling which I simply cut to length, they are not perfect, but they work and are usually,near enough. If it is a job in the town then you hammer slower and keep checking and only use the best. I always cut it out of otherwise unused offcuts, and so the cost to make what size I want is nil, bar time. |
