Had a rush job, two pairs of doors and one single door to go on cupboards, to match other doors already made and had to keep cost down. Solid pine panels used 154no 4x20 dominoes to align the butt joints and 176no 8x50 dominoes to join the door parts.
Except for planing and sanding all done with Festools. (OF2200 and TS55 both with CMS unit, Domino and Kapex all aided and abetted by the CT Mini with a supporting role from the MFT/3) ;D

I always said I would not make doors with Dominoes, but as these are for walk in cupboards and architect and client wanted fast turnaround what else can I do? Still would not use them for a front door or main living area door but am very impressed with the speed and accuracy of this job, the doors cramped up square and the Dominoes gave only a couple of alignment issues (corrected with the use of a cross and payne pein pin hammer  [wink]) No wind in the doors either, which sometimes occurs in traditional jointing.

Thanks for looking in,
Rob.

Good job Rob!  This is the kind of thing where the Domino really earns its keep!

For the benefit of us Yanks, whats a "a cross and payne pin hammer"?

Rob. Very interesting way to make doors and they look really great. Thanks for sharing!
 
Jay thanks for that link, hope it answers your question Jesse. [smile]

I just noticed I made a spelling error which does not help with these things  [doh]

It's a 4oz cross pein not payne  I will go stand in the corner after editing my post. [embarassed]

Nicely done!!

I have built some doors with the Domino and they have not sagged at all.
