On the Telephone With Brian Gay

[YodasLuke]

I tried the 5/8" dowels but under the stress of a swingers' lag pressure they were too whippy, and prone to staying bent. I had to change to 1 1/4". If I use a hitting stroke pattern then I would go down to 1" dowels too.

Now, now, there's no need to get into a lengthy conversation about dowel envy.
