sorry guys, but i'm completely new to this..........i don't know what to call the joint i'm going to ask about, nor do i have any idea about the kind of tools required to make it..........here goes.
i have access to old cedar fence posts, and have brainstormed some decorations for a man cave i am building. i would like to drill a hole (maybe 2 inch diameter) in one post and then somehow be able to make an end on the other post to stick into the 2 inch hole. i don't want it to be a tapered fit, but more like a piece of dowl on the end to stick into the hole.
i have no idea what kind of tool is available to make the end to fit into the hole so here i am.
ps....some of these posts i'm working on could be 6 or 8 ft long, so i don't think a lathe is the answer. besides, i can't afford a lathe long enough to do the job.
is there some kind of hand tool available that would kinda act like a giant pencil sharpener (but that would make an untapered dowl-like end) for insertion into the hole i have mentioned?
