Amazing video thank you so much! I only have a small objection! This works well with long dowels but for small ones i think it would be risky!

Thanks for watching, Georgios! Yes, agreed, this is probably better served for larger dowels

I don't have a router table and using a hand router sounds dangerous. Sand paper it is for me unless you have any other tricks?! I'm thinking of putting the dowel in a drill or drill press and holding the sandpaper. lol - i'll let you know if I have all my fingers after.

Putting the dowel in a drill is a great idea. I do that sometimes and run against my belt sander. If you have one of those it will round over a dowel in no time with a drill. You could also tape the sand paper down to a bench and use the drill that way. Even if you hold the sandpaper you'll get decent results. Just wear gloves!
