First Domino Project

[SMJoinery]

After much research on the FOG about tips and best advice on using my new Domino 500, I produced this simple piece of furniture for a local client but it's destined for their holiday home in Cornwall.
They purchased some furniture from a large supplier but couldn't find a media unit to match.
Timber is locally sourced oak boards 120mm by 20mm all match planed etc and edge jointed using 8x40 dominos at 150mm centres
Mitre corners and mid support are 5x30 dominos at same centres biased to internal face.
There are only 4 mechanical fasteners and that's for the stainless legs.
Finish is 6 coats of "Danish Oil".
I also made 6 coasters as an "added value" from the off cuts.

The domino was great to use and has me thinking of many ways to utilise the machine in more everyday projects.
Thanks to all the members for all the tips and tricks I used to make the learning curve as short as possible.

Nice work! You'll find lots of uses for your Domino and wonder how you lived without it.

Looks very good.  Did you have any trouble with the miters lining up?

Thanks..yes I did have some trouble.
When I tried it dry it was all looking great but when I glued and clamped it up there was some alignment problems.
I quickly realised that it was just off square and after I loosened the clamps, placed my square on the face and edge and re tightened the clamps we were all good again.
It is very easy to mitre these long edges with the dominos in place.
