I think he uses the pipe as a mold to give a nice, uniform semi-round shape
to the raceway. It says on his site that he cuts it down to 40% round and then
notches it where it meets the door sill. I would probably use a radial arm saw
to rip the pipe to 40% round. Although it doesn't specifically say, I think
he's leaving the pipe in. Seems like it would be hard to cut a dowel down to
40% round and if you couldn't get it out you wouldn't have a hole to run.
