Hi Ron,

My Dominoplate came in today. 6 days from you to Holland, not bad at all!
First some test joints, and the the upcoming project of a toy for my grandson.
Best, CJ'60

CJ, I must be sending enough of these all over the world that the Customs folks (getting to know me  [unsure]) are passing them right through...  [big grin]

I would love to see a picture of your grandson's new toy.

Ron

Yeah, the plate gets through customs easier than I do when visiting the US. Maybe because it's outbound  [unsure]

The toy will be (I hope) the first project that will pass my perfectionism/shame treshold and will get shared as WIP.
His birthday is March 18, by then I should be finished 

Best, CJ

Ron, thank you.  I received mine last week and used it last night for about 32 or so mortises and it works beautifully.

My Dominoplate came in today. Works perfect! Thank you very much! Frank

Just a random follow-up.  I love this accessory.  Using the Domino is just *that* much easier.  Perfect face and exterior alignments.  Fabulous in its simplicity.

I don't know how many more testimonials this thing needs.

But here's one more.

After my first test piece this morning, without even using a knob on the plate, I'm in awe. It's everything I'd hoped. This thing would have saved me a day or two of futzing, adjusting, and sanding down edges on my last job.

 

[James Watriss]

Well, what can I say... Refinements like this make my day. So, thanks.

 

[zapdafish]

Got mine a few days ago,  thanks

Hi Ron,

I am going to order one of these as soon as I buy a Domino.(hopefully sooner rather than later)  I am a graphic designer for my day job.  I would love to do a logo for your "Domiplate?" free of charge if you don't already have one.  I designed a logo for my "Boom-Boom" that I made last week.  I have posted it in the Festool jig & tool enhancement section under the name "I made a Boom Boom"

[attachthumb=#]
I used the Festool font.  Unfortunately there is not a font out there that is close so I re-created it.

I am also the person who made the imperial ruler for the TS55.  I can laser cut you a foil logo to mount on your plate just for giggles [smile]. Also on the house.

I love to see that there are still people out there willing to lend a helping hand!

Hope I can help, -Tim

That sounds interesting.  I do them on a CNC mill so I could mill a logo into the face with no extra setups.  I really hesitate to use "Domiplate" as many people call it -- it seems possibly too close to a trademark or copyright of Festool and I don't want to upset my favorite tool manufacturer.  Perhaps a contest to come up with a name for it???

CNC! That sounds even better!  I can e-mail you the vector form or I can even convert it to autocad.  The name competition sounds fun, but I like the name you already have for it.  I personally don't think it is to close to the name Domino.  I thought you named it after a pizza company [big grin].  Seriously though I can't imagine Festool making much stink about it.

Tim,

There is a font out there which is very close - Eurostile Bold Extended #2.

Jonny,

I read that linked post.  That was the exact problem I had with a font that I found.  Festool's corners are slightly rounded.  Kinda like running a router in a sign template.  I am just really anal about trying to get stuff perfect.  Nobody outside my wife and kids will ever see my boom boom logo in person.  I've got issues. [tongue]  Anyway, thanks for the comment!

P.S. I think "DomPlate" would be a good name too! Think...Template

Might be time to move this thread in part or whole to the "sales and dealer" section.

I also want to say that the Domino Gadget is a very simple and handy accessory. It is well worth the money. I have been working on an entertainment center and have used the Gadget for many Domino's. I choose to use 2 cap head screws, I can tighten with an allen wrench, to attach the gadget to the Domino, as I have a hard time gripping the small Festool Knobs that I purchased. Thank You Ron for the Gadget and I am looking forward to seeing what your next Gadget is going to be.

Hey, I see you have changed the name of your product from the Domiplate to the Domplate.    [blink] [big grin] [unsure]

I must have missed the contest for the new name.  [tongue]
