Miller Dowel Co. - Dowels
Miller Dowel Company has added six new species of wood suited to outdoor projects to its engineered dowel system.
Aug 01, 2005
Miller Dowel Company’s new joinery system (reviewed in FWW #173, p. 34) works with engineered, stepped dowels that fit into matching holes bored into both mating parts at once by specially made drill bits. The company recently introduced six new wood species of dowels that are especially suited for outdoor projects: black locust, ipé, magogany, purpleheart, teak, and white oak. Each is available in small and large sizes.

Festool DF 500 Q-Set Domino Joiner
This joinery machine revolutionized woodworking for so many. There is no easier way to get mortise and tenon joints—but it comes at a cost.
Festool Rotex FEQ-Plus Random Orbital Sander
The Festool Rotex is a top-of-the-line choice. On its coarse setting, it removed stock nearly twice as quickly as the second-fastest model. But that speed doesn’t mean you’ll have to wrestle with it. It’s no huge task to control it with two hands, and its long body gives you plenty of room to find a sweet spot while holding it.
