Cut the dowel rods
Cut twelve 14 3/4" dowel rods from 1" diameter dowel rod stock. Use 150 grit sandpaper to smooth any rough spots.
Prepare the dowel holders
Drill six 1" diameter holes in each dowel holder. The holes should be centered (1" from the edges) and spaced as shown in
the following diagram. Cut a 1/4" X 1/2" X 2" tongue centered in the top of each dowel holder. I use a Freud (99-036)
Adjustable Tongue and Groove Bit set mounted in a Kreg router table to cut the tongues. Alternatively you can use a table
saw. Cut a 1/4" X 3/4" X 1 1/2" tenon in the bottom of each dowel holder. I used the Tongue Cutter bit and my table saw to cut
the tenon.
