I don't think it matters, just that you would need to drill through one of the boards, and cut the dowels flush.
I don't like the idea of using dowels, figuring the price would add up.
I would need to order a 96" 1" dowel.
Home Depot would charge $14.78 for hemlock and $14.18 for hardwood.
Apparently, one does not simply buy 1x1s, when I search for that I don't find anything, although it did show 1" square dowels.
Dowels are round!
It seemed like the square dowels were priced similarly to round ones, despite not requiring a lathe.
A 1x2 is $1.65 and a 36" 1" square dowel is $4.86, which doesn't make any sense.
Who is buying square dowels?
Let me rip up some $1.65 1x2s and I will sell you 4 1" 3-foot square dowels for $4.85 each.
With 3 cuts I would turn $1.65 into $19.40.
That hemp block looks familiar. I started going through my commercial shed thread, but that is long, and I have far too much to do.
Today was the fourth day that I was supposed to drive to see my friend dying of cancer.
She said last Wednesday her doctor told her she could be gone in a week, so in theory she is on borrowed time.
I am just trying to decide if I will wake up once I start driving or feel more tired.
Isn't that exciting?
