    I use a vintage Stanley #59 dowelling guide. There are modern copies around (I saw one at Bunnings). These are excellent - cheap, easy to set up, and very accurate.



    I have been planning a tutorial on its use. This is a reminder to get it done.

    I've never tried the antique version, but the modern copy is worse than useless. The 'v' marker has a rounded bottom which makes it hard to align, and the drill bit guides fit sloppily in the jig. A world of frustration.

    I hope your vintage 59 works better than mine, which does nothing but gather dust.
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.
