If you’re a woodworker who is looking to make a wooden joint that is both stable and durable, then you have come to the right place, because we’re going to talk about the benefits of dowel joints.
Along with that, we will also review the best dowel jigs on the market, because you surely won’t like making this joint type manually.
Although there are different designs of dowel joints, all of them are quite simple when it comes to how they work, essentially dowels are just small wooden pins that are inserted in-between wood so that their connection is reinforced.
This joint can also serve as an alternative to screws or nails since they work in a similar way. These wooden pins just need to be coated with glue and then fixated in a small hole that fits the dowel size.
Some of these dowels even come pre-made at some stores which make your woodworking project even easier, but sometimes you will need a custom size which will require a quality dowel jig.
They may seem simple in construction but it isn’t really simple to make them by hand, especially if you’re just a beginner, but no worries, there is always time to learn.
