The first two projects I've used the Domino on are a little unorthodox, but sometimes when you don't know any better, you get some interesting things done.

Project one was aligning the face frames of the cabinets I made.  I've done this in the past with clamps and screws, but the Domino just solved all of the alignment issues automatically.

The next project was putting skis in the bottom of a church pew I cut down.  The pew was originally bolted to the floor.  That's not the reality in the house, so I needed a little more stability.  I had to add a chunk on the bottom of the center supports to make up for the 3/4" I added to the end pieces.

It's pretty cool - the Domino is quickly becoming my favorite way to stick two boards together.
 
I really like the face frame idea...hadn't thought of that before. I'm doing wainscoting / paneling using the 4 mm dominoes to preassemble and ensure the face sides are flush. It's in mdf so I really don't want to sand it flush - that makes painting harder.
