Hi,
I am doing a Green Oak Timber Frame for the first time. I have octagonal oak dowels.
I have drilled holes in the oak where it will be joined with the dowels with a 22mm drill bit.
I am not sure what the size of the dowels need to be as they are octagonal. I am making the "m" measurement there to be around 21mm which makes the "longest diagonal (l)" measurement to be 22.7 to fit in a hole drilled with a 22mm drill bit. Is this the correct way to do it? any thoughts?
