use elmers glue (contact cement might be hard to place on something in 2 direction.) unless you are sure you can place every dowel simultaneously.)

clamp the horizontal direction with a belt or rope (like a tourniquet ) the vertical direction can be clamped with weight (big books maybe, or leg weights if the top is not flat.)
