Thanks for clearing that up.....but, erm.....what does it do?

You clamp it to edge of a board into which you want to drill perfectly perpendicular holes for dowels and it guides your drill bit.

Excellent! Thanks for tracking that down. I guess the next question is: Has anyone in Hamilton lost a dowel jig?
