In this review, the wizard shows how to make a very simple, but useful tool for your home workshop with your own hands.
And it is especially useful for beginner joiners. It will be a conductor for drilling dowel holes.
Unlike universal conductors, this device is “sharpened” for a certain size of a wooden bar.

First of all, it will be necessary to saw off a piece of a suitable size from a wooden bar.
The main stages of work
At the next stage, we make markings at the end of the workpiece and drill three through holes.
It is better to drill on a drilling machine, but you can also use a drill stand for a network drill.
We recommend you to read: do-it-yourself DIY drill stand for electric drill.
Next, we cut the copper or aluminum tubes suitable in diameter and length, and press them into the holes in the workpiece.
On the sides we fasten the stops to the specific size of the bar. Glue one more on top - temporary. If necessary, it can be removed.
A time limiter can come in handy when you need to drill holes on the edge of the bar.
The detailed manufacturing process of such a conductor can be found in the video on the website.
