How difficult this domino setup?

[Gene Davis]

How difficult is this?  A 19mm square spindle can only be fixed at end using a #4 domino, and at 45 degrees rotation.

I am going to draw up what might be done for a pair of fixtures, one to do the spindle, one to do the board.

Anyone done this and have photos of what was done?

Look on Brice's website, he did that for shutters I believe. Brice's web site

I couldn't get that link to work, but here is Brice's video on YouTube:

Hi Peter

That is the first time that I have seen Brice's video. My only concern would be that by referencing off the previous cut each time any error will be amplified as one progresses. I would have been tempted to make a guide which followed the face of the wood and then the use a series of pencil marks to set L/R position.

Even so it looks like another nice bit of work from him.

I would be a bit concerned about my left thumb being so close to the bit. A knot or misaligned stroke could bite and bite hard.

I'm not sure whether I'm correct. but it looks like Brice is using a old DF500 with pins.
The angle is determined by the pins and the distance by domino. This wat the chance of errors are minimized since he sets the angle at each hole.

Here is what I think will work for my situation.  A simple jig is made from a couple pieces of hardwood and a small piece of 1/2" baltic birch.  It is specific to the thickness of my work piece, in this case 1-1/2".  Other jigs for other thicknesses can be readily made.  I will need one other.

My Domino, enroute to me now, has the indexing pins and not the flip stops.

This is used to put the mortise in the rail member.  I will show in another post my idea for the fixture to mortise the end of the square pickets.
