Cutting the dowel is a bit tricky. I used my table saw. I set the blade low, and gradually ran the dowel cross ways across the blade until I had taken enough off. I set stops so that I would leave the ends uncut. Since this gets your fingers close to the blade, here are a couple ideas: 1. hold each end of the dowel with a clamp. Start with a longer dowel, so that you can have several inches to hold onto. When the flat part is cut, trim the dowel to length, leaving about an inch of full round on each end. You could do the same kind of thing with a router. Just watch your fingers. Blessings, tom
