A useful Domino jig for smaller parts

[builderbob]

Good day all!  I have a larger built-in project coming up soon and I've found myself very frustrated trying to domino smaller parts.  I will first say that for 1/2" & 3/4" parts, I don't register the domino off of the work surface.  I use the domiplate...which I love...from RonWen!  The only issues that i have is with trying to put dominos into smaller surfaces.  I built this jig to lift my material off of the work surface so that i can safely domino my material and secure it as well. 

Basically, I used a bunch of scrap ply...the main frame is all 3/4" thick and the top is 1/2" so that it would sit flush with the t-track.  I wasn't aiming to make this pretty...just functional!  I think my photos are pretty easy to understand...I tried to hold the Domino in one hand & take the photo with the other to give you an idea how it will be used.

The only thing I needed to purchase was the t-track and the woodpeckers hold downs.  I also implemented the Kreg bench dogs so that I am able to stand a face frame on edge without it pushing out while I'm domino'ing!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Bob,

You gave me a great (I think) idea.  I want to mount the Domino right-side-up to a flat surface with a T-track for stops and hold downs.  I think it will resemble a slot mortiser of sorts.

Chris, I think that could be great...a semi-stationary domino of sorts.  I love the tool, there's so many possibilities with jigs (Rembo's is a great example of amazing domino jigs)!

You mean something like this for a mounted set up?
