: See, I told you it was impossible.

Got two more half dowels out. None came out as easily as the first, but I think it was driest to start with. With more heat and drying and more charring and more shrinkage of the wood, and expansion of the aluminum, I'm still confident.

Difficult, but not impossible.

I don't notice any softening (detempering) of the aluminum.
