Abstract: A hollow shaft, threaded on the interior, permits a workpiece, having a square cross section, to be rotated therein and thereby moved axially to be driven against a cutting edge to form the dowel.
Abstract: The invention features repeating building block units of generally rectilinear shape, which have arcuate mating end wall surfaces that are rotatable with respect to each other.Curvilinear surfaces of varying degrees of arc can be formed from a tandem array of the block units, such that assemblies of many different shapes can be fabricated.
