Yes, the chalenge is to get perfectly aligned holes in both parts, I did my best but it was far from perfect so I glued the dowel with thickened epoxy.
Anyone in Calgary available to do a job like this?
Since it is still attached you could use a long bit to drill through the leg form the top and press in a steel rod.
