About Dowels

A dowel is a solid cylindrical rod, usually made of wood, plastic, or metal. Dowels are employed in numerous, diverse applications including as axles in toys, detents (e.g., in gymnastics grips), structural reinforcements in cabinet making, and supports for tiered wedding cakes. Other uses include:

As furniture shelf supports
As moveable game pieces (i.e., pegs)
As supports for hanging items such as clothing, key rings, tools, toilet roll dispensers and picture frames
To precisely align two objects in a dowel joint: a hole is bored in both objects and the dowel pin is inserted into the aligned holes
