The Miller system makes it very easy to set dowels to reinforce joints or decorate. This is a smaller version that is great for large drawers and small tables. A few tips: only apply glue to the ribbed part like they suggest and they will be easier to clean. Second, cut them flush, slide a piece of the velcro sanding disc, grit side up, over the pin (put through the hole) and saw off. This protects the workplace.
