DIY Cross Dowel Jig 2-in-1 | Barrel Nut Jig | Detachable Wooden Furniture/Bed Joints | XDIY

Homemade Tool Cross Dowel Jig (2-in-1) This project started when I planned to make a bunk for my 2 kids. I wanted the option to disassemble the bed in the future, like the detachable beds you buy on the stores, so I checked the optional detachable joints. I found that one popular & strong joint between the bed frame to the legs, is done using a Cross Dowel / Barrel Nut, and additional wooden dowel, and decided to go with this option. In the way that cross dowel works, the wood should have precise drill holes which meets in accurate position. It's hard to make such perfect holes at home, and specially when you have many of such joints in a bed, so I decided to make a special Jig for it. In addition, I decided to make the Jig for dual use (2 in 1), and added an option to make an additional wooden dowel connection hole, which is usually required in this cross dowel joint, and some other Bonus. Watch the video for better undestanding of the making process, using the jig and installing the cross dowel and barrel nut. What do you think of the result? let me know in the comments.
