Was looking at the dowel wizard or dowl it 1000. Any experience with either of these or have a recommendation for another one?

I don’t have one.
I’ve only needed one once for a door I made for a our screened porch. For anything else I do either biscuits or mortise and tenon.

Well I don't think I'm ready for dovetails. Maybe box joints but I don't have a table saw so have to be by hand.
But was going use dowels for blanket chest for the side boards and future kitchen table for bread boards. My just get a kreg jig and do pocket holes and try box joints

The kreg jig pocket holes is pretty quick. I did some shed doors with them.
I’m doing a workbench now and using mortise and tenon. After a few times you get pretty quick at it and it’s not too bad doing it by hand.
I’m planning to do a mortise and tenon coffee table and am practicing on other stuff first
I also got a harbor freight biscuit jointer and it’s pretty easy to use once I set it up correctly.

I am also looking to pick one up for a few projects BY LINK. I originally was just going to pick up the cheap one at Lowes but it gets such bad reviews it sounds like having nothing is better than having one of those.

You can make one pretty easily.
