    I'm a primitive wood carver and my furniture making skills are even less than that.
    Go out of your way to get some dowel pointers. Life savers, to me.

    With my declining dexterity, I generally try to avoid scenarios where accuracy is required.

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Well Gentlemen, I am just home from playing bowls and never realised my simple question would have generated so many responses and interest.

    You've given me lots of options there. I must put up a photo of what I am trying to make, when it's finished so you can see the reason for my question.

    Thanks again,
    Paul
