<p>Created article</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[File:DowelPlate.png |300px|right]]<br /> A [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowel#Manufacturing_process &#039;&#039;&#039;Dowel Plate&#039;&#039;&#039;] &#039;&#039;(aka Dowel &#039;Pop&#039;)&#039;&#039; is a piece of steel &#039;&#039;(ideally, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_steel Tool Steel])&#039;&#039; which is drilled with various standard &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Dowel]]&#039;&#039;&#039; size holes. Short lengths of timber are roughly shaped then finished to size by driving them through one of the holes.<br /> <br /> <br /> Although commercially available, a &#039;&#039;&#039;Dowel Plate&#039;&#039;&#039; for occasional or one-off use, is easily made by drilling holes in a scrap piece of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_steel#Mild_and_low-carbon_steel Mild Steel] and &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Countersinking]]&#039;&#039;&#039; them on the underside.<br /> <br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Dowel]]&#039;&#039;&#039; for most uses is normally purchased ready-made but making dowel with a &#039;&#039;&#039;Dowel Plate&#039;&#039;&#039; has the advantage that contrasting timbers can be used to create a decorative effect. <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Tools and Equipment]]</div>
