First, Take your dowel and cut off about 1/2 inch off of the end.
Then sand the tops until they are smooth.
Sand the sides so it is still a circle but thinner.

Step 4: Done!!

I would suggest flattening the other side as well and hammering that into the dowel to prevent movement. If you really have fine parts to work with though, I'd suggest just buying for a precision screwdriver set because they cost less or about the same than the materials listed on this Instructable and have more versatility.

Tiny screwdrivers are great for repairing reading glasses.
