I am making some walnut pegs for a small cherry box. I take the 3/16" square blanks and work them on an inverted plane with a stop to get the rough shape. I then chuck them in the DP and go at them with a file to get a round peg with a square top.
So I'm working away and I'm thinking "Somebody has got to have a better idea than this". Any help out there?

The pegs will be driven in the last little bit with a bit of glue, sawn off and sanded down. The piece of cherry in the pic is the thickness of my stock. The peg will extend into another piece mounted at a right angle to the face piece (that would be one side of the box attached to the other as in a pegged, butted corner joint).
TIA,
Glenn
P.s. No 3/16" or 1/8" chisel or I'd just use a square peg . . . now where is that wish list?
