This gentleman had a nice idea, though I'm lucky that I haven't been stuck like that so far:

Geeez...major cluster alert...I just use a Knipex and toss the Domino if it’s trashed.

I wonder what apparatus he’d use to pull a transmission?
 
I use a Japanese flush cut saw to slice off the exposed part of the tenon and then drill another mortise.
 
I did the pliers thing for awhile, now I use vise grips and if they are still a little stubborn then a use my Hyde Reno bar to pry up the vise grips.
It looks just like a bee keepers bar.
 
Can't remember where I saw it: Someone drilled a hole in the domino, put a shank through it and pulled it out.

Sometimes, this works quite well, but for odd fence settings, it may not work if the fence setting has already been changed.
 
This works fantastically.

That’s a slide hammer for removing automotive brakes and automotive bearings...it’s also used to pull out dents in automotive body work.

You’re correct...it’d still be easier to use than a thick roll of abrasives and 3 hand clamps.  [sad] [sad] [sad]
 
yes it is, I lock it on the stuck domino and give it a shot and it pulls them out a treat. If the domino is damaged, I throw it in the trash. However this works amazingly well.
 
I clamp a 12” handscrew onto the domino and then use a pry bar to lever it out.

  This would be my go-to as I already own one. However, I haven't had the need for it yet with a stuck Domino, as pliers have worked so far... [eek]
 
I confess, I use sanded off tenons for test glue ups. They slide in and out easily. It's when I'ver glued in a tenon and have to remove it that I use the flush cut saw. Guess no one else has done this.

Wrong answer!  [big grin]

I know I'm late to this party, but I've found that if you sand the edges of the dominos just a bit with a hand sanding block they can be removed more easily. Of course with the really big dominos, and an airtight fit, removal is a chore.
 
Drill a hole, put a screw driver through it and pull it out - or am I missing something here?  [blink]

In fact: for dry fitting of parts I have a set of two modified dominos for each size that I keep with the machine. I drilled holes through both ends of each, sanded them down a bit for an easy fit and removal and I reuse them for any piece I need to test fit. Put them in, check the alignment of the parts, pull them out by hand or screw driver and throw them back in the box for next time.

Piece of cake.

Sand harder!  [big grin]
