    • A Fancy Dead Blow Hamm... -~-
    The Festool Domino was introduced in 2007 and I was fortunate enough to work with Festool at the time. So the Domino came into my shop has been something of a blessing and a curse ever since. The people who can afford one and love it tend to embrace it for the time-saving invention it is. There really isn't a faster way to create a mortise and tenon joint. But for those who can't afford it, don't want to buy it, or generally don't like the brand Festool, the Domino is the worst thing to happen to humanity since
    But what about that fancy router? I'm using a Festool OF1400 which is one of the best routers on the market. I use it for it's creature comforts like dust collection, ease of handling, and micro-adjusting edge guide. This technique requires NONE of those creature comforts. If you have a router that plunges and has an edge guide, you can do this technique.

    Great video. Thanks for the joinery tips. Now you can use the domino as much as you want and just link to this video to keep people quiet. You got a ton of work to do with the videos after the projects are built, so it makes sense for you to use certain tools for speed. Us weekenders that don’t have RUclips channels can take the time to jig a router.
    Also for every person complaining about you using the domino instead of maybe the router, I’m sure there’s someone who would complain at them for using power tools at all!

    I like the floating M&T joint. I think that sometimes though they are not made deep enough. With Festool Domino you have a set limit. So I actually prefer to use the router. They are more versatile in both diameter and depth, as a trade-off for speed.

    While I have nothing against smart tools like the domino it's cool to see alternatives using just afforable equipment. In the end it's about creativity and having fun building something.
    I found clamping the piece with the surrounding guidance wood easier if you put them upside down on a flat surface first, then clamp them, turn around and put them in a vice, normally no corrections needed ;)

  • @jesseanderson4807
    @jesseanderson4807 5 лет назад +1

    Marc, thanks for the video and the ideas. I think the big hangup for a lot of new woodworkers, is they they see 'everyone' on youtube whipping out a $1k tenoning machine every time the person in the video didn't want to do hand cut dovetails. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with either of those methods, but to someone who is just trying to learn, it could feel a little overwhelming and exclusionary. So they swing all the way to the other end of the spectrum and give Kreg all their money for pocket hole jigs!
    I love that you explained how it could be done another way, but whiners shouldn't stop you from using the machines you've obviously worked very hard to earn. Looking forward to getting your book!

    My wife bought me a Festool Domino system because I was taking too long hand-cutting. Great tool but where's the joy in it? I still occasionally pull out the drawers on furniture I hand made years ago to enjoy the dovetails, through wedged tenons etc. There's the joy!!! Great vid mate and cheers from Aussie Land! Dave
    PS. She also bought me a Leigh dovetail kit as I was taking too long making drawers a few years ago. I'm currently taking my time sanding (I'd love a decent drum sander...). :-)

    Good video and an interesting project and subject matter. For those that don’t have a Festool domino or a Festool router and fence there is a company called Micro Fence that makes an excellent micro adjustable fence for routers but they are expensive. For those on a budget (me included) there is the M-Power CRB-7 system that will do the mortising job and more if you get the complete kit.

    Hey Mark. Would it not be easier when you were routing the mortises on the ends to set all three boards (workpiece plus two supports) upside down on a flat surface, clamp them together, and then flip it right side up and put it into the vise. It seems like it would just be very difficult to get them exactly flush the way you did it. Love your content. Keep it coming.
