I ordered a hole drilling jig for my dowel hinges from Rob Cosman a couple of weeks ago and Rob actually called me up and notified me he had shipped it and thanked me for ordering it.
It is well machined and in it's own little wood tray. It has 1/2",3/8",5/16",and 1/4" cups, with 2 mandrels. One is for a 1/16" drill bit,and the other for 1/8"drill bit,plus the allen wrench to set the drill bits to depth.
You cut the dowel segments to length, and turn on the drill and push it into the cup, turn it around and do the other end.
If you leave it like that then cut the pins, 1" long and stick one in each end of the dowel, it will stick out into the next dowel segment. Or you can then after both ends are drilled run a drill through full length of the dowel segment, it will follow perfectly from one hole to the other.
