Starting on a cart for my MFT...Based on a plan by the Wood Whisperer.  Will be 3/4 plywood.  Will be a bottom and 2 sides and 2 dividers on long side dividing into 3 storage areas.  The middle and right section will be divided front and back.  Several plans I have seen use rabbet joints for the side panels and dados for the dividers.  Is there a reason that I could not use dominos for all joints?  Thanks for any help
 
The Domino joinery will be perfect for this type of project, saving the need to cut rabbets and dadoes with a table saw or router.

Also a great opportunity to practise the mid-panel joinery technique (and the pencil-line free mortising technique if you use the cross stop).

Final bonus: The joinery process is dust-free (rabbeting and dadoing are dusty from start to finish).
