round dowel out of square stock

Post by farley »

there was a video, somewhere that showed a guy making round dowels ends out of square stock with a router. I believe it was not in English, but quite descriptive. worked like a pencil sharpener.

can't find it, anybody know the link?
TIA

Take a look here. And it's in English. I simply googled "make wood dowels" and this, along with a bunch of others, came up...

thanks all, just not the one I was thinking of.

I'll keep looking. the one I am thinking is in English, but it didn't need to be.

some day I'll come across it again.
