What it concludes

• Using a self-centering dowel jig makes drilling dowel holes on the bench much easier and prevents wandering.
• Saving offcuts of angled pieces is a great idea to use as guides when clamping angled sides without slipping.
• Matching the grain direction on glued-in wooden plugs makes them almost completely disappear.
• Routing finger pulls on the underside of drawer fronts keeps them hidden and clean.
• Rubio Monocoat is by far the easiest finish to apply and produces great results quickly.
