Deep Dive: Using Dowels while making a table (using the Dowelmax Jig)

Building a small table using dowel joinery.

This is the SECOND small table I've made in as many months. The last one was made simple using pocket hole joinery. On this project video I am only focussing on the joinery, and this time I'm using Dowels.

Dowel joinery is essentially a form of loose tenon joinery. I like it because with the Dowelmax jig I get very precise joints, and the procedure is pretty quick. You do need to pay attention to procedures and not get mixed up with what face is your "alignment" face, which I explain the video.
