A dowel is a solid cylindrical rod, usually made from wood, plastic, or metal. In its original manufactured form, a dowel is called a dowel rod. Dowel rods are often cut into short lengths called dowel pins. Dowels are employed in numerous, diverse applications including axles in toys, detents (e. g., in gymnastics grips), structural reinforcements in cabinet making, and supports for tiered wedding cakes. Other uses include:
The traditional tool for making dowels is a dowel plate, an iron (or better, hardened tool steel) plate with a hole the size of the desired dowel. To make a dowel, a piece of wood is split or whittled to a size slightly bigger than desired and then driven through the hole in the dowel plate. The sharp edges of the hole shear off the excess wood.

Super simple dowel maker "out of the box". This is the easiest way I have found to make dowels. I found these construction fasteners at my local hardware store and found out they are perfect to make dowels without any modifications. It's also very easy to drill additional holes for different size dowels.
Quick video showing my steps for making a simple dowel cutting jig. This can be used to make joinery dowels, arrow shafts and anything else you might want that is round! Free Template http://diytyler.com/2014/10/12/dowel-maker/ I this video I make a jig that can cut 1/2" and 3/8" dowels. You will have to have some sort of steel stock to make this, there are other ways using a chisels and table saws that might make more accurate dowel but are a little more involved. For the 1/2" Side: Measure 7/16"(0.4275), 3/4"(0.75) and 1 1/16"(1.0625) from one side, mark a line down the center of your metal stock to mark the spots for the pilot hole. Drill three 1/8" pilot hols though each intersecting line, then open all three holes up to 1/4". Drill two 1/4" relief holes half way through the stock...
This is a quick project that can be done in less than an hour. All you need is a couple of scraps of wood and two bushings, which can be found at almost any hardware store. It is very accurate, given you make the jig precisely. Thanks for watching! Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jeremyschmidt

Underneath her skin and jewelry,
hidden in her words and eyes
is a wall that's cold and ugly
and she's scared as hell.
Trembling at the thought of feeling.
Wide awake and keeping distance.
Nothing seems to penetrate her.
She's scared as hell.
I am frightened to.
Wide awake
and keeping distance from my soul.
