As someone who does this for a living, you are going about it the right way! My biggest tip, along with your guide lines, have your 6 inch combo square set to your reveal so you can use it to make sure your reveal is right where you want it all the way around.
Makes sense, I’ve seen videos of old timer window and door makers who assemble most everything in the shop before taking it to the job site. For mid range and high-end fixtures I think most of the pros would do that.
Nice. I did a bunch in my house with the domino as well, but onsite. It's nice knowing face offsets won't move. Downside is it's much slower but it's so much better.
Don’t worry, that’s how we build them in the field too. Sometimes we use a couple Craig screws to hold it together so you can just pop it in before it dries.
Not really overkill. Just how it should be! Butt joints provide little strength so it's good to include joinery that is stronger. I biscuit all of my miters on casing and high end trim Carpenters do the same.
Looks good, like you’re using a reveal, in my opinion, always looks better. Are you planning on doing your door casing/trim as well? I’m considering building all of the 4 doors in my house myself. Also, what apron are you wearing?
Definitely a furniture maker and i loe your content, but yes, 99% of jambs and casing i build in place because nothing is ever square and plumb and i can shim and adjust and get my reveals just perfect. Great work though!
I have done the same thing on my door trims but done away with the 1/4 reveal as i think it gives a much better finish. Only i have used white oak and finished with a hard wax oil.
Nice work! Love the 90’s sitcom ending 😂
I recently finished all the casing for my house in the shop with Dominos. I was starting to think I've lost my mind lol. And I am a Carpenter!
Nice ending!!!! The best!!!!

V groove joint looks good. Pro would use biscuits, a little faster and cheaper but same idea
Remember to create drip edges so water wont stay pooling top of bottom of the boards. Helps to keep them alive much longer, but more work
The inner frame you are working on is called jamb extensions. Looks good by the way.
The last 2 seconds was remiscient of a 60s commercial. Classic.

Holy crap, those last two seconds... HAHAHAHAHA
So how was the joint between the jam and window as well as casing to wall . Done similar and discrepancies have to show some where
Pocket screws do the same thing and now you don’t need to use pins or glue.
Did you round over the parts before assembly? Looks like a gap between parts where they meet
I did. The “gap” is intentional. It’s just a spot where two round overs meet
Use different glue on exterior wood.
This is interior trim.
No comment on the wood choice? Poplar is pretty dead giveaway it’s an interior casing here
You’ve been framed!
