FRAME BUTT JOINT USING DOWELS

Another option for connecting frame parts is dowel joinery. Holes are drilled on

both workpieces and premade dowels are inserted with glue. Dowels have the

additional benefit of being completely hidden.

1. Arrange the parts to be

joined and mark the dowel

locations across the joint.

2. There are many dowel jigs

on the market, but self-centering

dowel jigs are the most useful.

3. Align the desired hole size

with the lines on one of the

workpieces and secure the jig.

4. Drill in the hole using the

desired drill size with blue tape

wrapped around the bit serving as

a depth stop.
