I love watching other peoples' videos to see what they are creating and how they go about making things and that's one the things I love about woodworking, is that there are often different ways of achieving the same end result. Generally, there is no right way or wrong way doing some, just different techniques often using different tools.

Some time ago, I watch a Very Good video made by Tamar of 3X3 Custom where she showed a variety of ways of making dowels, you can see it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tyygJh8c8s&feature=youtu.be
In that video, Tamar made a dowel using a router table, and it reminded me of a woodworking technique I try to remember to use, which is starting BIG and working small, and that is, start with a larger piece of wood, because it's easier and safer to hold on to, then work at making it smaller as needed.

CA glues are such a handy thing in the workshop, I can't imagine ever being without it because it can just solve so many things in the workshop, like clamping, repairing furniture, fixing tools and even filling cracks and knotholes ... the stuff is like another woodworking tool on its own.
For some users, it's wise to use "Nitrile" gloves when working with CA Glues, especially the thin version because it dries very quickly and you don't want your glue-up to be sticking to your fingers.
