Step 7Marking and Drilling Peg Holes
You're almost done now!
The Holes:
Mark where you want the dowel pegs to go on the tops of each arm of the X. Keeping your drill perpendicular and using your 3/8" drill bit, drill the peg holes. Do NOT drill all the way through. You want to go as far as you can without going all the way through. It helps to mark how deep you want the drill bit to go with masking tape. This way, you'll know when to stop and won't accidentally go all the way through. I suggest about 4-6 holes on each arm spaced about 1-1/2" or 2" apart.
The Pegs:
Cut your dowel rods to length. You'll need 4 pieces of the dowel rod for the pegs. I suggest cutting them at least 6-8" long. Longer pegs will hold a large skein of yarn better.
