    Saw this on Youtube and thought it was interesting enough to post on the forums:

    Classic example of a YouTube expert.

    Omits to mention that the technique will not work in hardwood unless the dowel holes are absolutely perpendicular to the surface. American white pine is very forgiving - softer than radiata.

    Good point Graeme, also you need to make the dowels yourself as the ones you buy here at least are totally inconsistent.

    Yup! No surprise given the source

    This is why I pointedly didn't watch this when it was offered up to my by YouTube, I knew the tip would be trite or superficial.

    I liked the BAM the best.

    I've been woodworking since late 70s and don't remember ever using dowels. To me they always seemed to be a pre 70s thing that would fail at some point.
