Wood U-Joint Construction Part 2

Construction Article: http://woodgears.ca/reader/walters/ujoint.html

I made a few improvements. I decided on 5/16" dowel for the cross pins. I wanted the joint to move freely and decided I could accept a loose fit to allow for expected dimensional changes in the wood. 21/32" was selected as mating hole for the 5/16" pins. Nearly every power tool in my shop was used in the construction. Construction article at woodgears.ca
