Fixing timber blades to dowel
Hi, I've searched around for advice but haven't found any ideas yet on this problem I have.
I am building a screen made of timber "blades". The blades will likely be 100mm x 20mm boards, spaced around 30mm apart, so that their large faces face each other.
To space them out, I'd like to use 60mm dowel. I've added a sketch to show what I mean below.
So I have two options:
1) cut the dowel into 30mm lengths and glue? them in place, trying to be accurate with placement so that it looks like one continuous dowel.
2) drill 60mm holes in each timber board and slide them onto the dowel - but how to fix them, and hold them 30mm apart?
Any ideas?
Appreciate the advice!
