First big Domino Project - Built In Display Cabinets

[Brian Livingstone]

Hello,

Just finished my first "big" project with the Domino.  Eight + feet of display cabinets on both sides of my stone fireplace in my rec room.  200+ joints, using the sight guide, on the tight setting.  0% failure/redo rate.  Wow !  The speed, accuracy, incredible.  The FMT that was replaced with the domino would have been weeks doing all those joints.  I even used dominos to connect the three cases on each side, i.e. face frame to face frame.  My wife even watched, and was impressed.  Sure helps to soften that $ 1200 Canadian dollar price tag.  All we need now is a glue applicator to fit those mortises.

On to the wet bar, domino all the way !!!  And don't get me started on those laser like cuts with the TS55, who needs a tablesaw.  Hafaele Canada tells me the MFT 1080 should be here tomorrow. 

Can't wait for summer vacation, I am going to refinish my hardwood floors in the living room, using a Rotex, call me crazy !

Heck, I don't think he even has a Domino.  :  Nah, didn't happen.

Greetings from your local picture cop.  I deem this thread NULL and VOID unless pics are presented herewith and post-haste!  We want pics!  We want pics!  We want...

Is it just me, or is this starting to sound like "domiporn"?

1.  I agree with Bill - no pix = no project -- even a Domino project, or perhaps especially because it is a Domino project...

2.  Is there something wrong with Domiporn???  ;D

Here it is, almost complete.  Crown molding to be installed to the ceiling, covering the gap.  You will note that there is a fire on, it is a chilly night here in Nova Scotia.  Ran out of toner, which I use prior to applying stain to the red oak.

OKay!!!!  There 'ya go.  This is an Oh-ficial project thread!  I even believe that you have a Domino!

Nice one.  Very nice.

Looks good, you could use a couple dozen more pixels though.
How do you say "couple dozen" in metric?

"All we need now is a glue applicator to fit those mortises."

The Baby-Bot from Fast Cap works great for both the mortises and tenons. It allows very precise control.

Nice project. Like others have said, hard to tell what you've got without a better pic.
