Need bench dogs? Don't wanna spend a lot of money? Want something that'll look nice too? Then watch how to make your own bench dogs for only 5 dollars!

I recently drilled some bench dog holes and needed to make some bench dogs for them. I like to save money here at Daughters Wood Co, so I went to home depot, grabbed a 3/4" oak dowl, found some scarp soft maple, and only an hour or two later had a bench dog ready to go!

I've seen similar bench dogs, but thought it'd be fun to make them a littler fancier by adding a walnut wedge. They came out great! Something I like about this style of bench dog is that I can make the height of the stop block as little or big as I need. I made a variety of them, some that are a 1/4" think and some that are only 3/16" thick. This'll help me when I need to plane very thin stock.

Thanks for watching! I'd love to hear what you think and as always, if you liked the video please hit that like button and consider subscribing!
