How do you round the end of a dowel?
To make dowel ends round for handles or other projecting parts, drill a hole the same diameter as the dowel in a thick board. Clamp the board on your router table with the hole centered on the router bit’s center point. Slide the dowel into the hole and raise the bit so it will shape the bottom half of the dowel end.
Simply chuck the dowel into your drill/driver, wrap a short length of sandpaper around the dowel and hold it while slowly pulling the trigger. As the dowel spins, the sandpaper will slowly and evenly reduce its diameter.
