Christopher Haddock Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 My new homemade stall bars. The most expensive part was the custom made hickory dowels. The only mistake I made was drilling the holes in the sides for the dowels 1/2 inch deep instead of 1 inch. However I glued and screwed them in and the hickory dowels are super tough so I'm hoping they will be okay. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Haddock Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 The total cost was about $400...which is considerably less than similar quality ones I saw on the Internet. The biggest cost by far was the hickory dowels. They were right at $300. I bought them from Baird (see invoice attached). Given my 1/2 inch hole for them in the side beams I'm glad I did! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Renaud Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Wow, I was curious about the price of the dowels, having them custom made. Mine were stock from a supplier of turned wood products and came to about 4,50$ each + shipping, but they are in yellow birch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Haddock Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Yes, the hickory were more expensive than the other wood types. I had them custom made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
