Just insert a bushing in the doweling jig that matches the width of your mortise. Then clamp the jig onto the board with the hole centered between your layout lines. Slide the drill bit into the bushing and bore a series of overlapping holes until all the waste is removed.

Where can I buy a small dowel jig like the one shown here, picture 14 of Joinery basic. I live in the Philippines and things like this are hard to come by. An address or site name would be very welcome
