Before doing so, the joints between the wrestplank support blocks and the lower belly rail were dowelled. Since I intend to dowel into the lower edge of the belly rail and the two knees supporting it, I traced out the position of these components with pencil, and just before gluing, I drilled a series of tiny holes through the baseboard, positioning them at the midpoint of the thickness of the knees and belly rail. When the glue is dry, I'll drill larger dowel holes from beneath, using these little ones as markers, without having to guess where the components are on the other side of the baseboard.
I've also laid out the positions of the knees in pencil, and once again I'll drill small locator holes to help me dowel them after they are glued down.
