Thanks for the comment.

Yes, Krenov-style doweling does take considerable set up, but the good part is that you do not need special machines such as a biscuit joiner or Domino.

I’ll post photos of some jigs I’ve made but in the meantime Krenov’s Fine Art of Cabinetmaking and Fine Woodworking magazine #208 show examples.

Perhaps dowels get bad press because of the steps involved to use them when compared to cutting a biscuit or using a domino?

You mentioned in part one using a Krenov style jig, what’s it look like?
