Default I now know why I stopped using dowels

It's been a long time since I doweled something to put boards together.
My son wants a nightstand made out of hockey sticks. It's too late to
edge glue them together. So I thought I'll use dowels. Much slower than
a biscuit joiner, and while fitting them together they get so tight.

I was dead on with alignment, but after doing just two sticks, I'll be
going to a plate joiner. We'll see how that goes.

He wants this http://hockeystickbuilds.com/nightstand/ but I'll be
doing it with better construction technique, but not better sticks.
Lot's of old worn sticks.
