Dominos really work

[Deadskins]

So, last night, I glued up 2 6x40 domino sets into some 3/4 plywood for a jig I was building.  This morning, I decided to rebuild part of it and just wack out the piece holding the 2 dominos.  About 20 wacks later with my hammer, I managed to to loosen the loose tenon.  Then, about 20 more wacks later, and I managed to break the tight tenon in half.

So, Festool, I guess you do have pretty good quality control. [eek]

rock solid pergola. wiggle is no more then if I install angled bracing which was avoided and kept clean . Joints were glued started up with tb3 but ran out and was too lazy to up/down 4 flights of steps to get more out of the truck. So I glued the rest up with a triple poly sealant (Geo-cel).  The wood will break before the joint. I know this because it's been tested my me.

In case you didn't know, many Domino users keep several slightly sanded Domino tenons available for dry fitting and easily removability.

Really? I never would have thought to do that.. I just did several panels  for shelves and that really would have come in handy..  Great tip..

One only needs to lightly sand the narrow edge and remove the ridges on those sides.

I would also stain or color with a marker to make them distinct for unmodified stock.

I marked my dry fitters with a sharpie.

I drill a small hole, easy to see from where I last put it down

Have just  acquired a Domino 700.

This machine  I found was able to  do  the  equivalent  of 8 mortise and tenon joints  in less  than 5 minutes. Very impressive.
