@@3x3CustomTamar I like to mess with the Starbucks folks and give them a weird name and make it extra hard for them. I'll tell them my name is something like "Yannas but with an H" and won't tell them how to spell it. 2 can play the whole "name butchering" game!
When using wood clamps on the drill press to hold things..... I found it helped a lot when i glued sand paper onto the wood clamps. Cuts way down on pieces slipping.
Thank you very much for this video! I had just cut out all of my angled joints and thought that my dowelmax tool would work perfectly. Nope. Your simple jig saved me. I’d spent quit a bit of time trying to figure out the solution to this problem. You’re the best!
Nice! I'd add that these "tool making" techniques were/are also crucial for a pre-CNC machine shop. The techniques are pretty universal, and continue today - not everyone has a good enough CNC setup (or at all) to beat jigs in making a bunch of things exactly the same (without thought, errors can stack up in ways a good jig prevents). Ask any machinist about the respect the title of toolmaker gets...
Thank you! I just did my first angled stool using dowel joints and I just drew a line on the side of the wood as a guide while I drilled angled holes by eye haha it worked but obviously not very precisely. This is very helpful!!
I know this is an older video of yours, but I just found your channel, and have been clicking on any video that comes my that you have made. I love watching and doing wood working, and this just fills my head with tons of ideas and tips. So thank you!
Well done! I was racking my brain on this kind of issue. What you did is smart, simple et efficient. It looks to be an easy trick to design, therefore it means it's a brilliant idea.
Have an outdoor rocking bench with a broken rocker. I need to put an angled dowel in it and have been trying to figure out how to do it and now I know. Thank you so much this has bugged me for a long time. Great videos.
Great video again Tamar......i am currently making a floating shelf and wont be needing angles but was nice to watch how you figured things out......very smart !!
I Didn't Even Want to Make This Jig, But Just Had to Watch. Good Job! I would not want to make the holes 90° like some have suggested, as the holes in the end grain would be cross grain, and bits would wander and the joint is not as strong as 100% face grain. That's why we were taught to make angled tenons when doing hand work. I don't know of an angled dowel jig, except for a 45° Dowel Max attachment, so this is a perfect one time jig. Good Job. I do do like seeing your mistakes, as we only learn from mistakes. Oh, and by the way to keep bits from wandering in end grain, follow up the awl hole with a small pilot hole, about a 16th, then you can even follow up with a slightly larger bit, like 1/4 to get you started, which is what I was taught by Paul Sellers in Waco, Texas many years ago.
I wish i saw this video before yesterday. I messed up my work trying to drill holes on a chamfer. thanks for the video. look forward to the adjustable version.
I could use a verity of words to describe this process, however I believe that brilliant, is more appropriate then any other choice of words. Kudo's Tamar
Drilling into endgrain always caused my bit to drift. If I'm doing a lot of work with the same jig, I will typically drill an oversized hole, then add in a brass sleeve to make sure I don't drill out the holes in my jig. Great jig, I love how easy it was!
I've been trying to figure out how to do this for a few days now. I was starting to get nervous because my deadline is really close, I'm going to make this jig when I get home thank you so much.
It’s wonderful! I have been asked even engineers but you have shown practically just simple demo to understand! Expecting more and more ideas from you mam
To make the reusable, you could drill the holes larger, and insert a metal tube with the inner diameter you want your dowels to be. As for being adjustable, attach rods to the outer guides that can slide through the jig for width changes, and run some bolts through that hit the side of the jig to stop the sides from sliding back in. If you want the angle to be adjustable, I’m unfortunately at a loss for that at the moment.
Another great video!!!! Yes, it’s a one time jig...the bit bores out and enlarges the hole in the jig with repeated uses. If it’s a permanent jig I will install drill guide bushings. Thank you!
Very nice. I'm just about to start a project that needs a 15 degree dowelled joint similar the one for your desk project. This jig looks a lot easier than the over-engineered one I thought I was going to need. The only "clever" thing I'll add is to use the miter saw, which was already set up to cut the pieces to be joined, to cut the block for the jig. That way it's already the exact same angle as the project parts, even if it was initially set up a degree or two off one way or the other. On a side note... This is from 2019??? How have I not seen this for all this time? 😀
The first video I watched on this subject at it was great. When I have more time and my shop setup properly I'll be doing these kinds of jigs. For now I think I'm going to mortis and tenon my current project because it will be easier for me. Thank you for the amazing and straight to the point video!
Oooooh! The small block at the start: Get a 'centre punch' which is much better than a stole (awl) for marking then get an 'Engineer's Vice' for the vertical drill (drill press stateside). Stoles are pretty hard on your hands and joints and the vice will save you time too.
Nice jig Tamara, Actually, very timely for me. I was just searching for methods to insert angled dowels two days ago. This would have helped me then, but i like your solution better than the one I found and will put it to use in the future. Thank you for the clear visual presentation and the straight-forward-easy-to-follow information.
See "Joint Genie" (UK based company) -- which is basically the same idea, but adjustable. Also cool that you can screw it to a wood instead of clamping. That can be a plus in some situations.
That's a brilliant jig Tamar😊 since don't have a table saw the 10°angle cut can be done on a mitre saw ( possibly a stupid question)😄. Thank you so much
Great little jig, Tamara, er... Tammy, er.... Taymar, er.... TAMAR!

I ordered a coffee once for my friend Rick. They wrote Crick...
Hey I'm a Maker so no ones safe I guess. Ha
Oh my gosh! I was struggling on how to use dowels in angled joints. Your solution is PERFECT! Thanks for sharing.
Tamar I admire how fearless you are. I must work on this for myself.
Just go for it! I am scared of working in the cold though. I am not liking this.
When using wood clamps on the drill press to hold things..... I found it helped a lot when i glued sand paper onto the wood clamps. Cuts way down on pieces slipping.

Thank you! You’re a life saver. I’ve spent way too much time trying to figure this out myself and your solution is brilliantly simple.
Brilliant..........new to wood working, but wood workers truly astound me in their ability to innovate. Thank you

When drilling into a slanted surface, I've used a forstner bit to make a flat spot and follow up with a regular drill bit.
This was so interesting and has lots of great tips! Gonna thumbs up and subscribe!

Thanks! That’s how I initially cut the pieces I was using to join together. To if you take a small cut off from there you can make the jig.
You’re really talented at creating jigs for every need that pops up. Thank you for sharing!
