Now, find the right size paddle bit, by comparing it to the holes that the dowels used to go into. I used a 5/8" paddle bit. Remove the screw bit from you drill and insert the paddle bit.
Now drill holes into what used to be the top of the CD rack. I made two rows of holes. Space them equally. (you can measure if you want to)
When drilling the holes, but a scrap piece of wood under the board, so that you don't drill into your floor. Drill the hole deep enough to the point of the paddle bit pokes through. Don't drill too deep, or you'll have a problem when you want to attach the dowels.
