Default Repeating cuts of 3/16" dowel

I'm working on a jig to hold my wood for planeing. Part of the jig
requires cutting a dowel rod to pieces (mostly) the same size. I need 12
such pieces, about an 1" to 1 1/2" in size.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the cuts evenly and
efficiently? I don't have a band saw, and don't have plans to get one
soon.

I glued an old style wooden clothespin with the spring to a piece of
plywood to hold dowels when I need to cut little pieces with my
chopsaw.
