I recently went to Home Depot to buy some dowel and was shocked at the price so I went back to my shop and made my own. I first made larger dowels for pedals then found out that I can also make smaller ones. I can now make dowels any size and use even hardwood. I tested for fun and made hammer shanks out of maple, fir and even cedar. I have included a YouTube video to show how it is done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=vADtRDJy3Ks Jack Houweling 604 970-3371 www.jackspiano.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
