Norm only started using dowels in the 15th season and then tried out this stepped dowel system in the 17th. It will be interesting to see if he incorporates it more into his regular joinery protocol.
As is the case with the Confirmat screws seen in earlier The New Yankee Workshop episodes, a special stepped drill bit is needed with these dowels.
Appearances: Episodes 1710, 1805, 2011
