Just as a matter of interest how is the dowel added to the material? I have seen where it can be achieved successfully, routing on the router table rotating the material and pushing down to reach the depth required, Also as an alternative method the Pantograph is a very interesting. Has anyone considered any other method?.

Enclosed two samples of joints suitable for small stool ot table construction, one where the dowel is perpendicular and the second at an angle when the legs are slightly angled IMG_0694.jpgIMG_0700.jpg
