Once the handle is attached to the block, you can drill a hole through the cutting block. Be sure to drill this hole from the handle side so the two holes are perfectly aligned. Two small holes on each side allow the shavings to escape. To use the jig, chamfer the end of the dowel. Then place it in a vise. Now slip the jig over the dowel with the handle on top (see photo above) and slowly push it down. Frank Penicka Mount Pearl, Nftd., Canada I make my own dowels and like to have relief grooves cut in them to allow space for excess glue. So I built a handy jig that makes quick work of adding grooves. It's simple to build and easy to use. The jig has two parts, a handle and a block beneath that holds a pair of cutting blades (see drawing below). The handle has a hole that's sized to fit the dowel. The small cutting block is attached below the handle by screws and T-nuts. A slot cut partially through the thickness of the block holds two sharpened pieces of hacksaw blade. It's important that you cut the slots the same width as the hacksaw blade so the blades fit tightly in the slot. A hole drilled to the depth of the slot on each side of the block receives a press-in threaded insert and a knurled screw.
