Another one of the best doweling jigs I’ve come across is the Yours Bath 41 piece woodworking kit. It’s just about as simple as drilling jigs come, but it gets the job done without costing you much money at all. Also, not all screws are equal between brands.

That’s what we will try to do today. Fine-Thread screws are the preferred choice for hardwoods - like cherry, maple, and oak - that are hard and dense. Stainless screws are designed for use in extreme environments that are exposed to moisture and corrosive elements.Germany’s Wolfcraft are famous for their quality woodworking tools. Their Undercover jig set is billed as the complete set for invisible fastenings. I’m inclined to agree with them, it’s a handy kit supplied in its own carry case that keeps everything organised and out of trouble.

Creating a solid join between two pieces of timber with dowels and glue is an effective joinery method. But drilling accurate perpendicular holes is difficult without a guide like the Dübelprofi. It takes out all the guesswork when it comes to sizing as well. First, you can go with a completely different joint option, like a mortise and tenon joint. These joints don’t use any screws; however, they take some time and skill to use correctly.
