Here is a way to get more precise dowel holes on full scale or miniatures. Aqui hay una manera de hacer huecos mas precisos en escala normal o miniatura.
simple but effective ,nice touch with the string keeping all the pieces together,i've made jigs only to use the wood in another job then cant find my jig,can i borrow this idea?cheers mate malc from the uk
Very clever. I haven't read all the responses so I may be repeating someone here but... if you clamped the piece you were drilling to the support board and ran the board on the rail it might increase precision, if that matters. Thanks for the post.
Your board helps it be stable in one direction but the part where you're holding the boards by hand, wobbles a bit. That part can be off-center when drilling.

I need a help I plan to make a furniture, a tv stand. With my drill I can make hole of 5 mm max. If I use 5mm pins instead of 8mm on the furniture would it be strong enough?
Great tips! If I may ask, what kind of wood was that that you were drilling into for the tiny dowels? I turned a magic wand out of a piece that looked just like that. It was given to me in a bunch of scrap cutoffs. I'm thinking it was China Berry.
It too was a scrap offcut. Best guess is it came in as pallet timber. Often unclassified timbers get milled and made into pallet or packing timber simply because they don't know what it is, which is no reflection on how good or bad it might be. So some times you can get some really beautiful packing timber. (I know someone who used to do jungle timber surveying)
I'm only new to wood carving but i saw something on a canadian website : woodgears.ca/horizontal_boring/side_offset.jpg Your system seems nice and easy and it's cheap. But imho i think you can enhance it to be more precise cause dowel are easy but need to precise in the alignement. -i would move the drill and not the wood piece you are looking to drill. And the piece should be held in place with something to block it -if you could fix some wood cleat to be parallel with your drill bit you could move it to drill perfectly perpendicular and to reproduce the same drill on the other part of wood you need to align/assemble :)
Not so chancy. Depends if you are a decent carpenter or not. One usually allows extra material to allow for error when building by hand anyway, so you should allow enough for hand planing to finish off.
I love your uploads but I think it may be more accurate if I chewed the holes out with my teeth than use this particular method
PhilipStepens007 you legend. I was struggling with this today. I can' afford a drill press I will have a go at making the jig. Goodonya.
You have some very simple and clever solutions to building things. Nice job.
awesome philip, i dont have a drill press and was struggling so hard to make a straight drill, genius idea, will try it tomorrow
Que sencillo que lo haces P. Stephens, hasta se podría hacer la caja para una espiga. Genial!
Surprisingly High Tech!
extremely helpful tips - and very practical. Very nice tips, man. Keep making MORE, please. EXCELENT!!!
Great tutorial, as always.
Thanks!
Ótima idéia! Grato por compartilhar!
Cool rig!
Sr. Gracias por sus ensenansas es todo un savio
Cost effective and Pure Genius!

More planning needed my griend.
simple n brilliant, thank's buddy
Man you're simply awesome!
I use a drill press for straight holes, but I like the ingenuity here, essential if such equipment is unavailable
i'm gonna try it, thanks mate

señor usted es un genio
Nice work. I try to build this one too gor my workshop

Good job thanks
Only 1:29 into the video and I'm already thinking "this guy is totally awesome!"
Wow super thank you !
muy ingenioso,,,gracias
fantastic
thanks for this
I too enjoy rubbing on the shank.
This is great! Perhaps the background music is a bit too loud.
POWER TOOLS (^^) They ARE WORLDWIDE
or you could i guess measure for the dowels
No music when talking
you should jointblock a guide to have perpendicular drill....
Dao Bacon can you explain further.. sounds interesting

be careful champ
nice accent!!!
It's toooooo chancy if it doesn't match you ruined a piece of wood.

Sorry, lousy boomy audio and too loud background accent.
Nahh
oh noooooooooooooooo no thanks
