Dowel making jig

#1 Post by rodlonq » Wed Dec 08, 2010 8:04 am

I thought some of you might like to see this article sent to me by my Mum from one of Dads old magazines. I will try to get hold of the original magazine and make bigger scans, I can hardly read it.

Sorry team, I shouldn't have posted this copyrighted material :oops: . Looseplucker has provided a link below where the information is freely available, please have a look at the link if you are interested.

Cheers...... Rod

That would be great Rod.

I did copy them to mypictures and was then able to zoom in and that helped me read them a little better but still blurry.

Interesting Rod. A mate and I tried somethin similar to the first jig many years ago but it wasn't real successful. This jig looks to be a better set up though.
