- Опубліковано 23 лют 2021
- I like to use tools for thing they weren't necessarily made for. My Dad came up with this woodworking hack 10 years ago and I had to share it. If you ever need dowels or loose tenons but don't have a lathe then this wood tip is perfect for you. I'll show you how to turn wood dowels in 30 seconds with a tap and die set. Thanks for watching!

So, almost 9 minutes to show how to, “make a dowel” in 19 seconds…….
That's why I didn't subscribe.
He’s really got some great videos. Most videos take longer than necessary. If you don’t have time to listen then just click the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner of the video and when the menu comes up click on playback speed and adjust to 2x. Just listen closely.
Spent most of his time on his family history, then he finally made the dowel it was 1/8" shy! 🤦♂️. Forget "hacks" make a dowel plate!
Yeah, right off the bat, I recognized this is gonna take a while, so I just kept jumping forward to the real stuff. Some people love the sound of their own voice.
This is a dye tool, this is how to use it to make dowels, THE END! Why does everyone who makes a video have to give you their “life story” (and often not very relevant) before talking about and showing ‘WHAT WE CAME TO WATCH & LEARN”?! 95% of most UA-cam vids can be cut down by more than half the length.
Yea this does work BUT I would never sand it when I use it in joinery. The roughness holds the gluing better. Learned this over 47 years ago from my grand dad. Thanks for sharing this.
Finally! A use for the cheap chinese tap and die set i bought 30 years ago!
Awesome trick! Will definitely be using this one. The reason the dowel isn't 1/2" when using a 1/2UNC die is that the minor diameter of 1/2UNC thread is approx .4" roughly 3/8" after some sanding. If you want a 1/2" dowel, use a 5/8UNC die as that has a minor diameter of .51".
Thank you from France I needed 8 dowels, it was an emergency, I made them after I found your old man's tip !
Awesome!
I like that, “…listening to someone who may know more than you…” 👍👏😊
The respect you have for your dad and his experience speaks volumes. Kids butt heads with their dads when they begin to think they know as much or more than their mentor. That’s rarely the case, mind you. But it’s been the bane of father-son relationships for millennia. Thanks for sharing! Subscribed!
i was all worry about what modifications that I have to make to the die. You are not limited to sizes.
This is great.
Thank you.
12:01 Great hack my friend- thanks to you and your dad. I appreciated the short comments on you working with your dad- I lost mine when I was 10 and missed out on a lot of practical workmanship and ingenuity that he had. Keep the great vids coming.
Push Stick cut-off was a solid piece of advice. I'd never thought of it.
Enjoy the time with your dad, I also enjoyed working with my dad . I lost him this past year and mom this year. I had the 68 years so I can not complain, but I still miss them. Make the best of the time you have. Thanks for the good instruction. Tommy
Thank you Tommy. I’m sorry for your loss. Unfortunately I lost my Dad last year. After working with him almost every day of my adult life it’s been difficult. God bless you and your family.
I do understand as I worked with my dad many years. Thanks for the reply@@HAXMAN
The information in this video is really cool. I also liked the part where you were saying about the respect you have for your Dad, but also being humble and open enough to receive help from others. Not to be so fast to assume that we know all as an individual. Great advice!
🙏🏼💙🙏🏼
Spot on advice at the end, you can do something the hard way for years until you watch a you tube video, thankyou from sunny England
Nice trick for an emergency. But dowels are one thing I'd rather buy. Cheap, consistent sizes, smooth, easy to find, and I can get back to making my project faster.
I have seen so many really cheap tap and dye sets at garage/yard/tag sales. A cheap set is all you need because its hardend for metal and its been used for wood. Great Hack indeed!
Awesome tip, thanks! Just made two 1m-long dowels with this method. Pro tip: Keep pushing hard against the die, otherwise you end up with a partially-grooved (screwed?) dowel :)
Thank you Haxman, this is the perfect solution for rounding over some square stub ends of curved slats for fitting into round holes. The shape of the slats meant I couldn't just take them to the router table. I was stuck -- thinking I'd have to whittle 96 stubs by hand -- until I saw your video. Thanks for sharing!
5:25 it starts. Pretty cool! Thank you for sharing!
It is a godsend to have people on you tube, like you, who are willing to devote their time to help others and find ways to save us a few bucks in the process. I always search for ways to make my projects easier and more affordable , plus you people have a lot of ingenious ways of doing things, thank you for your time in doing this for us novices.
Honestly, they "devote" their time in order to get views and make money. A lot of work goes into filming and editing videos. Those who post them are not usually doing so out of the kindness of their hearts.
I learned woodworking from my grandfather. Wish my son had interest.
Your grand daughter or grandson will.
i wish i had a dad who taught me woodworking. im trying to learn because i have always been fascinated by bow making
@@Soviless99 me too
These are great tricks. I love your plant arrangement, so neat and tidy, with so many equipment THAT I've always dreamed of!
What a great idea! It's the easiest way I've seen to make wood dowels, and I could make many different sizes.
Perfect for making dowels that match the wood used in the body! Thank you.
hey brother i wish i had a Video with Dad, it's amazing
Awesome video. No making jigs marking or cutting backs of wood to eventually end up 1hr later , in the same place as you but you done it in seconds. Excellent video
I accidentally came across this video and now I have an idea on how to make an arrow shaft. Thanks for the idea. Subbed.
Great stuff as always, thanks! I’ll definitely put this to use! Lost my Dad when I was 28 but glad yours is still around! Enjoy your family while you have them (even when they drive you nuts)!
Amen 😎
Good advice at the end there. No room for prima dona's. When I teach classes I'm happy to listen to good ideas from my students. As long as you're willing to learn, you get better and better.
You love and respect your dad....cool.
This is the best idea I have seen to make dowels out of different colored and types of woods for projects involving pocket holes.. I like your comments about what the actual hack is all about and what you said about your Dad. This video contains real advice from a professional and I thank you so very much for making and posting it.... I feel very fortunate to have found this video...Have a nice day...
Thank you so much! I’m glad you found it useful.
That last message is crucial. I'm always looking to learn new things. And an outside perspective on a problem can be Paramount to solving it.
Drill required size in an old circular saw blade. Damage one spot inside the hole with a centre punch to creat a bit of a dag. Clamp down or vice hold said blade and ditto.
Works a treat
I just love the son and dad story! Great video
But after watching the whole video
I have to say i really enjoyed it! I learned something new today that will help me out ad long as o am alive. Thank you
very cool technique... I would keep my dad around!!!
Very useful video, thank you.
Great advice no matter what path you may be on in life!
Great tip. I don't have a tap and die set, but years ago I had a few taps which I used to cut threads in oak, and then ran the fasteners into the wood. Some of the jigs I built 20 years ago are as strong as they were when new. I think I will pick up a set now that I have a use for the dies. Thanks!
It's bad enough the login makers would allow mfs to treT and put there gd hands on someone 18 times in 2 years he ain't saying nothing u will tell that stupid gd area who what and why take the gd place do something
Awesome thank you and your dad. Finally a use for my $40 garbage tap n die set.
Way cool!
I'm getting back into woodworking and UA-cam has been a great source for learning. Your channel just got on my subscribe list. Thank you!
Drill a hole of your chosen size with the the edge just cutting through the edge of your donor scrap wood, clamp on a sharp chisel at sat 35 degrees across the gap, hone down and chamfer your dowel piece to fit in the hole , attach to drill shove it in and switch on and gently push it through much less hassle.
I will probably never do any of these things...well maybe the fire pit one...but I’m still watching. Love the content, thanks!
I love your attitude about learning! There is always more to learn. Thanks for the video and the tip!
The more you know, the more you know you don’t know!
This is also a great way to sharpen pencils for your kid at the beginning of the school year. I sharpened a whole box of 30 in like 2 minutes.
Congratulations you are the dad of the year
Great trick. As a quick rule. A 1/2-13 die will make it 1/2” - 1/13” or .42”. A little less than 3/8”. Use the pitch as a fraction to subtract from the nominal bolt diameter. With a little care, you can get pretty close to what you want.
Thanks. Now I've finally found a use for those junk dies I got at the auto parts store.
I don't even need any dowels right now but I still have to try this.
I run every plan past my dad, it is usually 70% changed (improved) by him. Shout out to all the dads that give up their Saturdays for the build, no matter how grown we get 😅
All you guys can talk all the shit you want. I’d watch this video 15 more times and it would still save me time on building table saw jigs and sharpening plane irons to do it the other ways (that even 40 plus years carpenters suggest). This is the easiest way to do this. Obviously, the man is just being personable to help his subscriber base. I’ll never understand the people who have to talk shit when really they can just ignore the video.
Thanks Haxman. I’ll be applying this tomorrow.
Great trick! I have everything needed. I wanted to learn ways to make home made dowels in order to make wood arrows for archery. Coincidently I saw you have a recurve on the wall at 0:14 on your video.
Good lord man! I'm 4 minutes in and checking out. I don't know if this video actually contains a way to make dowels, but I'm not waiting to find out.
I love learning a way to do something to where I say “Why have I never thought of that”! Not a carpenter but love making things! Great advice at the end, other peoples ideas or knowledge can make it easier even a bad/dumb idea can lead to a way! Yes, there are stupid questions.
Great Idea for making dowels. I would point out however, that plugs and dowels are different animals. Using a dowel as a plug will show end grain on the exposed surface. A plug on the other hand since it is cut across the grain, will leave long grain showing on the finished surface. Careful use of a plug cutter can yield a plug that is much harder to see from the surrounding grain. In some cases it almost disappears.
Wow thank you and your Dad for your informative videos!! Love to watch and listen..you are very entertaining!!
I like seeing your work shop how you make things
Ha, and to think I have been making wooden arrows by hand. Game changer.
Ingenious- one that i know i will certainly utilize. Thank you!
Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
10:07 ooo ooo i know this one.....MAKING ARROW SHAFTS!!!!!
Really good use of a tap and die set. 👍
Feature that dad mo on channel sounds like a super hero
He is.
@@HAXMAN cool my first video twas helpful will be checkin some more
Always enjoy your content. Keep up the good work. 👍🏼👍🏼
8:41-8:51 Save yourself 12 minutes and 11 seconds
What you came for... 8:39 Very good idea!
great idea Thanks for sharing Now I can easily make my cedar arrow shafts. among many other projects.
Trik trik krja yang luar biasa hasil jos
Arrows! Awesome! ❤
You just gained a new subscriber this is an awesome way to do does! I'm building a ho scale logging layout that's pretty much logged out. I'll be making a spare tree and lots of stumps this way instead of store-bought.👍
I like this idea. Also, they now have a setup where you can turn your drill into a lathe, which is useful if you want to make larger dowels or ornate furniture legs without having to buy an expensive lathe.
Super idée
Great idea - thanks!
The real dowel was the friends we made along the way!
Brilliant 👍😁🏴
Pretty smart!
I use some Wenge 5/16x18. Technique works like a charm thank you
Thank you bro I was struggling with the razor /wood jig
Good stuff, thanks for this. Will be trying it with teak, wish me luck!
Perfect for arrow shafts sweet.
Fantastic! Just what I needed!
Thanks for the idea!!!!!!
All the best to you and your Family.
Thanks for sharing. Excellent idea!
Very cool, Old timers always knew cool tool tricks...
Gonna try it, matching the same wood for pocket screw holes will be alot easier now.
I have mis match colors with this black walnut.... not to cool with it.
Excellent tip.
Great dowel tool for dies, thank you.
Great idea! Haven’t tried it yet but will with Cyprus wood.
Honour et respect your parents
Awesome
Great idea love your explanation to it all,keep going with your hacks.
I wonder if the fine thread dies would give a smoother initial finish on the dowels
Man you are so funny, I was cracking up watching you 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
That was awesome. I would have NEVER considered using a tap and die set for something like that but I'm also too cheap to get something like a plug cutter when I just won't use it that often. Thanks for sharing!
Great trick would have loved to see you do that with Black Walnut. Ceder make that look easy!!
This was ingenious!!!
good hack, thanks from California
I LIKE IT THANK YOU
That is faster, thanks for sharing!
Absolutely brilliant!! Your dad is a legend ! Ggreat tutorial ! Such a handy hack Haxman!!
And so true. We can learn a lot from our elders.They got by on far less than what we have at our disposal.
Oh man, I’m laughing so hard. The intro with the badass guitar riffs, slo-mo kickass tool montage, and then…
“Yo, that hurt! Splinter to the nose.”
