Rather, Domino orientation. Building a simple bench, 2 layers of 3/4" play laminated, legs, and 3x1/5" stretcher. [attachimg=3]
Planning to attach stretcher to legs with 2 10x50s to prevent sag and racking. I have three questions about best want to do this.
a) Vertical or horizontal orientation?
[attachimg=1]
[attachimg=2]
b) If vertical, best to align with pencil marks? Piece is too narrow to use the tabs. If horizontal, I believer 2 fence settings is simple, or using a spacer.
c) This is my first time with mid-panel dominos. I still can't visualize the best way to transfer locations to the legs. Tight setting on stretcher and loose on legs?

I followed all the instructions for attaching the images, hope this works!

3"x1.5" stretcher? 

Vertical.

Draw the stretcher on the leg, mark the Domino locations, use a board to align the Domino using the base as your reference faced. The offset is 10 mm.

99% of my work is tight/tight. I your case go tight stretcher, loose leg.
