Well I went ahead and started the repair! I didn't really want to use dowels but it was the only thing I could think of. I'm not even sure if I did it right, I have never done something like this before. Here are some shots of what I did.

First I pre-drilled 1/2 inch holes w/ a paddle bit

Then I cut my 1/2 inch dowels to shorter pieces and glopped the holes with glue and then the dowels.

Then I just Taaaaaped em in, just taaaaaaped em in!

Then I put all the clamps on.

And put one in the head because there is a hairline crack started. I had a crazy idea since I was doing all of this anyway that if I put a foreign object w/ glue that maybe it would hold it and not let the crack get bigger, but maybe I'm on crack?

Hopefully if this turns out okay it will be smooth sailing after it's cured?
