The two blade jig is the way to go especially if you are using hardwood for shafts. The single blade works fine for spruce, Douglas fir and cedar.
The way I do it with two blades is a bit different though. I simply drill a hole the size I want and then Bandsaw just to the edge on either side. Then I clamp a Sawzall blade on each side in a vise (make sure the blades are facing opposite directions- one with teeth up the other down). Then I use a C clamp to secure the top part of the blades. Always use hardwood for the jig, softwood like pine simply leaves you with some friction charring and smokes a lot!!!
Here is a VERY crude drawing of how I do it.

this post has been driving me nuts; about a month ago, I came across a youtube video showing the exact process. It was fast, slick and effective. It was in russian, but you didn't need to understand the vocals; and the tags for the video used odd terms like pole instead of dowel.
I've tried searching for it several times now, but no luck.
The drawing posted above is just right, tho.
