fitting dowels on slight angle
making a holder for my spring clamps. I need/want 6 dowels fitted to a pice of 18mm MDF and need the dowels slightly off horizontal so the clamps wont slip off. To be pedantic how do I get all dowel pices the same angle?
I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds

A piece of scrap planed/sawn to the angle required, clamp to drill table and rest the piece to be drilled on it, drill first hole rinse and repeat
The person who never made a mistake never made anything

If you have a drill press, you might be able to tilt the table to your required angle. Then all your holes will be the same.
Another method is drill a hole through a block, then cut the desired angle at one end and use as a drill guide.

fair go, so simple, proves my body & brain have been mentally stretched over past few weeks. Adult son with disabilities moving 3/4 into respite home and dear wife going through chemotherapy after ovarian cancer.
