The purpose of the Wooden dowel in our life

2016-03-25

 Dowels are round wooden pins of small diameter used to strengthen (reinforce) a joint. They can be bought ready made and can be used instead of nails or screws, or instead of mortising, dovetailing, etc. They should be dipped in glue and driven at a tight fit into holes made for their reception. Dowels may be made at the bench by the plane, or they may be turned. When planed, they will be improved in section if driven through a round hole in a piece of steel. They are supplied by the trade, of all ordinary diameters and lengths.
