Where I got the dowel kits

I got these at Harbor Freight for $3.99 each (or less if I used the 20% coupon on 'em). Each includes the brad point bit, stop collar, hex, 4 doweling centers and a handful of fluted dowels.

Not sure how soon I'll find a project that can use the 5/16" or 3/8" dowels, but when I do, I'll be ready! :cool:
