Woodworking Snippets: Bandsaw template tracker and Doweling

Notes App IconThere is probably a better way to archive tips and articles from online magazines these days (it was easier when I just cut it out of the monthly paper magazine), but until then, saving snippets and tidbits to my blog is what I’ll do, even though I have a few ideas saved in my MacBook Air‘s Notes app.

Bandsaw Template Tracker

From a recent woodworking magazine issue, here are a couple ideas I wanted to save and try the next time I’m duplicating parts or using dowels (although do have a dowel centering clam — never does seem perfect though?):

  1. A template tracking jig for rough cutting and duplicating parts
  2. How one long time woodworker uses his drill press and doweling centers with a chamfer to line up joints.
