Step 6Dowel Movement
Now that the base is ready it's time to install the dowel.
First you need to decide how tall you want the stand to be. I did this by holding the dowel in the vertical position on the bench in the location where I planned to install it. After doing this I saw it would hit the light so I trimmed about six inches off one end with my saw.
Now to join dowel and base.
If you are going the permanent installation route just use a mallet to pound the dowel into the base. Or if your dowel isn't slightly oversized you could glue it in place with epoxy.
For those of you following the temporary installation route place you dowel in the base. Mark the position of the hole for the pin on the dowel. Then drill a hole through the dowel at this spot. Or you can try using the hole in the base as a template for drilling the hole in the dowel.
