Centurion Project Part 6, Dowel Locks



The mounts will be held in place with short "half dowels".
To cut and sand off one half side a marker line was made down the length of the dowel.

When sanding to the half round shape, the black line lets me know the shaping is even and straight.



The centering rings were marked at 90 degree intervals.

Half circle punches were made with the rotary punch.



Some 220 grit was wrapped around a dowel and the half punches were made a little larger.

MarcG's design used short square "sticks" instead of half dowels.
I felt it would be easier to punch the half circles with a rotary punch instead of cutting squares out of the centering rings.
