I'm somewhat embarrassed to ask, because the whole premise behind them is simplicity, but how do you install the bullet dowels? Specifically, I already drilled the holes in the top of my legs to house the 1" oak dowels, and I have the dowels shaped, now, how do I accurately transfer those locations to the workbench top? Is it simply measuring as accurately as possible? I figured they needed to be pretty precise. Any slop would allow your bench top to move under force, and any misalignment would not allow the top to sit down properly.
Do you flip the bench upside down and use dowel centers? If so, did you rig up a 1" dowel with a 1/2" center (assuming you used a bullet larger than 1/2")? I can't find dowel centers larger than 1/2"?
Advise appreciated,
Jeff
