My shop is small and minimal which means I don't have all the legacy tools a woodworker would expect to have. For furniture making the Domino is integral to ease of use and efficiency.

My view on the domino - it's a one trick pony. It makes loose tenon joints. For the same money, you could have several tools.

To me saying a Domino is a one trick pony is like saying a table saw is a two trick pony because it only rips and cross cuts.
Add a sled and jigs and the table saw becomes incredibly versatile.
It's the same with the Domino, use some lateral thinking and its one of the most amazing versatile powertools on the market.
