Mitered Dominoe Question

[Christophl]

Hi Chuck, could you suggest the size number of domino’s for another similar project.  I am making an end table also from mango that is 24 inch deep, 1 3/4” thick. I will be making the two legs also 24 inch deep, 1 3/4” Wenge that I want to do with a mitered corner.
Thanks!

The simplest way, Chris, is to use an actual domino to check against a scaled sketch of the joint. Here, 10x50mm tenons seem to work great for a DF500. Since yours is a DF700, you may want to see if a bigger tenon can work for the one that's closest to the inside edge.

One, good God your during are so much better! Something definitely I need to strive to do better as well.

That sizing looks like a good example for me to follow, thank you. But it seems like you still think I should do two rows on this piece as well?

You may explore if one row of big tenons will do the job. I was having the DF500 in mind when I tried to figure out the sizing.

Gotcha. Thanks Chuck
