1/4" Doweling jig production run, $25 to $35 - Phil Thien - 02-28-2018
[attachment=8670]
Ever since I started selling my 3/8" doweling jigs (thread: https://forums.woodnet.net/showthread.php?tid=7329677&pid=7462775), people have been asking "when are you going to do a 1/4" jig?"
Well this last weekend, I needed to assemble some parts from 1/2" stock, so it was time.
This is basically nearly identical to the 3/8" unit (even uses the same fence). The only difference is, I've setup two rows of 1/4" holes on the dressed construction lumber side for increased strength.
Here is my page with my template doweling jig information:

* I will be updating this page with more information on the 1/4" jig, as well as a few more tips for working with dowels, in the near future.
** You will note the price at the webpage is $5 higher. It isn't much, but that is the Woodnet friends discount (send me a PM and send-back payment instructions).
Same deal as last time, everything you see in the pic for $35 including shipping. If you only want the 1/4" template and the bushing, $25 including shipping.
If you missed-out on the 3/8" jig last time, I will sell a kit with both 1/4" and 3/8" templates, the two mounted bushings, and a single fence, for $55 shipped.

Okay I'm getting orders but I'm delaying this.
I'm changing it, here is the deal...
I'm working on my project that used 1/2" materials, which got me started.
But now on the same project I'm working with some square stock, 1-3/8" that I planed down from crusty 1-1/2". I tried to half-lap them but it looked meh.
So I decided, why don't I used four (2x2) dowels?
So now I'm changing the configuration so a single template has 1/4 on one side, 3/8 on the other, and the reliefs/bumps to make it fairly universal. Both sides (1/4 and 3/8") have two rows of holes for doing the ends of square stock.
Gimme a few more days to finalize this.
