Customizable 3D Printed Dowel Jig

Customizable 3D Printed Dowel Jig

I've read that dowel joints are nearly if not as strong as mortise and tenon joints. The mortise and tenon joint requires expensive tools (specifically a table saw and a router) and the know how to make them, but dowel joints can be made with just a drill. The tricky part, though, is getting your dowel holes lined up on each piece. With my dowel jig widget, you can configure a jig for your specific situation and 3D print it at home or for an affordable price online.

Tying Knots With Wood

Tying Knots With Wood

Using my knot software, I've created all kinds of knots. I've tied them myself, 3D printed them, and CNCed their patterns into knot mandrels. In this post, I show you how I used wooden dowels and 3D printed connectors to assemble a knot that forms a globe and has no beginning or end.
