[Woodcarver] DOWEL CHAT

[Joe Dillett]

Hi Terry,

1/2-inch copper water pipe has an outside diameter of 5/8-inch. I would cut
a piece 6-inches long and sleeve it 3-inches onto each dowel. Than I would
pin it to keep it from coming apart.

> I just put together 2 friendship canes for the MWCA Expo comming up this
weekend.  I had to deal with making some block holes bigger to fit on the
5/8 dowel.  What I had trouble with was connecting 2 dowels together, end to
end, strong enought to not break.  I drilled holes into the ends and
inserted/glued a smaller dowel and this presented some issues with alignment
that I had to fiddle with.  They wern't strong enough so  I ended up putting
a metal sleve around the joint.  This worked but was too much trouble and I
should have asked this question before I started.  How do you connect the 2
dowels?
