How to make a dowl joint? Method 1: One method of making dowel joints is to use Another method of making a dowel joint is to use a marking tools known as dowel centers.. If doweling jig. This dowel jig will fit over a workpiece, clamp into place, and guide the drill bit into the they’re off by as much as 1/16th of an inch, wood. The user can then transfer the jig onto the joint might not work. The cylinder fits another workpiece and drill the corresponding inside a drilled hole while the pin marks the holes. Because these jigs guide the drill bit, a drill location of another. With careful alignment, press isn’t necessary. A sharp brad point bit, a the user can push this pin into the surface of combination square, and a power drill will do the the mating board, leaving a mark for a trick. corresponding hole. The user can then drill It’s possible to create a dowel the other hole and form the joint. Other than joint without dowel centers or a combination square, sharp brad-point drill a doweling jig, but it takes bits, and a drill (though a drill press is better), painfully exact layout and a dowel centers are all that’s required. very steady, straight drilling Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Lay out the Dowel Clamp the Doweling Drill the Hole Test Fit the Joint Glue and Clamp Locations Jig in Place the Joint The first step to making a Slide the doweling jig over Choose the drill bit that Before final assembly, it’s critical that dowel joint is to lay out the the workpiece. All jigs matches the diameter of the you test fit the joint (known as dry Squeeze a bit of dowel locations. Place the have reference markers dowels you intend to use and fitting). It should be snug but shouldn’t wood glue into the two pieces of wood next to each as if they’re already that you can use to align clamp it in your drill. Most require force, and the dowels should holes. Insert the assembled (form the them. Carefully align the jigs have depth gauges that reach into each board sufficiently. The dowels into one corner). Be sure that the reference marker with you can set to prevent from joint should also be flush and tight horizontal piece (the rail) one of the lines drawn in drilling too deeply, but you without gaps, and dowels shouldn’t be board before butts up to the vertical piece sliding the two the last step and clamp can also use a piece of visible.

I. OBJECTIVES • Identifying appropriate hand tools • Selecting appropriate hand tools II. SUBJECT MATTER Topic: USE OF HANDTOOLS Reference: CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING LM pp.4-14 CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SERVICING TG p. 12 III. PROCEDURE A. Pre-Activities Motivation: The teacher will show the students a video presentation of the concept of hand tools Presentation: The teacher will present the lesson for today: Use of Hand tools B. Activity Proper: The class will be divided into six groups .The groups will be given tools, discuss the tools in the group and identify them if the tool belongs to Driving Tools, Soldering Tools, Splicing Tools, Boring Tools, Cutting Tools, Auxiliary Tools. . Then, a representative from each group will explain why the given tool belongs to the kind of basic tools. C. Analysis: Let the students draw/illustrate the different tools with their functions. D. Abstraction: The teacher will show again a tool and ask the students to e
