wolfcraft Complete Dowel Jig & Joinery Kit for 6, 8, 10 mm Wood Joints

As soon as this item arrived it was opened and put to work fixing extra shelves in a wardrobe. It works a bloody treat, I’m very pleased with this dowelling jig, definitely at 10 out of 10 from me

I just bought a new LG C1 48" OLED TV, It is bigger than my old 48" Plasma including the surround, so if I placed it on the plinth that I made years ago, which had room on each side in which to stand my front L/R surround sound speakers, the bottom corners of the new frameless TV would be cut off by said speakers. A new design was needed that fitted inside the alcove from side to side, and with just enough height to place the speakers on their sides below it, along with my Mini PC and Bluray Player (which are currently nested under the old one. This would leave the top of the 'plinth' free just for the TV and an unobstructed view of the screen. Unlike the old one which was screwed together, I wanted this one to be smooth and sleek, with an uninterrupted expanse of black-ash on the top. I never liked that the old one had the screws that I could see each time I dusted. So I decided to use dowels. Practicing on spare bits of wood, carefully measuring, drilling and dowelling proved fruitless as nonmatter how careful I was I could not get the holes perfectly vertical, and so could not get the pieces to go together as they should. This is where Amazon came to mind and how I came to buy this set. There are no English instructions but to be honest the images tell you all you need to know on how to use this. That being said, I never used the extra part that can slide back and forth when drilling holes in a flat piece, I used the hand-held part for it all. It is simple to use but to drill into edges you will need a vice or a workbench to hold the work. There's none of this putting a line down the pieces and measuring meticulously where the dowels are to go, it basically lines the holes perfectly in the centre for you, you just have to drill. The drill collar is not at all well designed, It had one small Allen screw on one side so on a wood bit it is impossible to get level. I used size 8 (40mm) dowels for my project, as the timber was 20mm thick I put 15mm into the top and 25mm into the uprights. careful measuring is required whilst the drill is slotted through the guide. It can be awkward as at the same time one has to tighten the screw of the collar. Once done though it is a cinch to do. Once all the holes were drilled then putting the spikes in the holes it came time to marking the corresponding points on the underside of the top of the plinth. This was the only time measuring was needed, and that was so that the uprights would be perfectly distanced and so that I could kick them back 3mm from the front edge. Line then up by eye or by using a spare piece of timber - bang with a rubber mallet and presto, perfect marks to drill the receiving end for the dowels. Simply adjust depth of drill bit (whilst in the guide) again, and carefully put the point of the bit in the hole, hold the guide down flat on the piece and drill away. First time I have ever used dowels in my life, seriously. Always wanted to but unlike my father who was a cabinet maker and could do it by hand, I could never attempt to do the dead-on accurate measuring and drilling required. This piece of kit made it easy. The crunch came when it came time to fit it all together and it did fit all together, perfectly. I have my 3mm kick in on the front and a 1mm kick on the sides, perfect right-angles between the uprights and the top, and smack-on equal measurements each side of centre. The first image is one I took after primer had been applied and sanded down. The second once painted with Black satin oil based paint I am chuffed with the way it turned out and I'm sure my father would not be shouting at me for doing a shoddy job of it. As an aside: I ended up returning the TV as it has serious issues with brightness and it has an awful soft picture with motion smoothing on, and if it's off the picture jags like crazy in HDR...but this tool at least helped me make my unit look fantastic - even for my old TV.

What a brilliant kit, virtually idiot proof, even I can now do dowels with ease, the only issue I have is tightening the depth stops on the drill but that'll become easier with more use. Instructions are very clear. Order yourselves more dowels if you are doing a big job as there's about 16-20 dowels in this set, there's also dowels markers which is a bonus. If you're doing a build that requires dowels look no further than this kit.

Cheap and cheerful,did my 8mm holes perfectly value for the money

Good quality and easy to use for any diy enthusiast

Not a bad set, but I found that it's hard to get the offset guide fence to stay in place. Ended up drifting by 2-3mm before I noticed the probem. It would be better if the jig was made from metal instead of plastic so it can 'clamp' together.

Not as easy to use as they would have you believe,

for the price this is pretty good, does what it supposed to do with a little care.
