Stairs!
« on: December 06, 2016, 10:15 PM »
Hi all! First real post here, other than intro. Thought I would share my project. Building 2 sets of stairs and two landings for our new home! This is my first project with my brand new Domino XL and I am in love! We are building a log home so lots of big timber, posts are 6x6 and stringers and joists on landings are 3x12. I cut almost all the mortises for the basement landing and gluesd up one side of it in roughly an hour! WOW! What a time saver! Anyway, more pics will follow as the job progresses!

Thanks for sharing- I'm looking forward to more pics of the progress.  Always curious about the different uses folks are getting out of the XL.

Progress from yesterday and today! I work full time besides trying to build this house so progression is slow. Basement landing frame is done!

Well done sir.
I personally would not been able to be creative enough to use the domino as a timber framing tool replacement.

A little update on my slow progression for anyone interested! My Domino XL, 2200 router and TS 75 made working these treads and stringers a breeze! Now waiting on some additional clamps to come in and some slow set epoxy, I'm thinking this glue up is going to take a bit of time!

That's what I'm working on figuring out! The epoxy I'm going to pick up says a working time of 90-110 minutes, I'm gluing all the dominoes into the treads before hand so that'll make things a bunch easier.

Thanks, I plan to do something similar but couldn't figure how to do the glue up. You have thought it out well, going to watch your posts closely!  Mike

That is a serious way to get to know the Domino.  My first runs were not nearly as ambitious [jawdrop]

How are you allowing for wood expansion across the grain of the treads with routed mortices!!?

There is a small amount of gap in the mortises but because of all the wood in the house, I am already having to strictly control humidity so I don't expect too much expansion.

If you have morticed your treads into the stringers, why use dominos?

I like overkill? In all reality, I'm sure it was unnecessary but I do not ever want to have a problem with the stairs. Dominoes added a lot more gluing area and strength.

Really nice. Anybody have an opinion about weather or not the dominos would be enough without the mortified? Also are the treads open? Anything over 4" fails here.

The dominos would hold, but the stair tread would likely split at some point, so it's not a good idea.
