I like to make shop made tools. One of the most recent was a doweling jig. It self centers on the boards to be doweled together. This one has the capacity for drilling 1/2" and 3/8" holes for the two different common sized dowels. It carries the two different sized drill bits and the bushings to guide the drills perpendicular to the stock being drilled.

I thought it was McMaster-Carr, but I just checked I didn’t find them. There are lots of them available. The 3/8 bushing slides inside the 1/2" bushing, and they are 1 1/2" long to make it easy to keep the drill bit vertical.
I forgot to mention, this is another use for scrap wood,
These were the Christmas present for the club members one year. There were 20 ea. of them.
