Dowels for table

Hi. I was making a small table to put my microwave on. I am using 2by3's for the legs. I wanted the table to be nice and strong, so i decided to buy some wooden dowels. Now that i have them, i have no idea how to line them up. Even a slight miscaculation when it comes time to drill the holes and the whole thing is off. The wood isn't big enough for a mistake either. I thought about lining up the drill site by using a blotch of ink, then putting the other piece of wood in line, so i get a closer estimate. Anyone know how to do this correctly?
