Well Terry, with your lengthy expertise with the Domino, I have been very curious what you would think about it, and I have been patiently waiting for you to post here. I am glad to hear you are intrigued by it. I have already shipped a couple of these off to your fellow countrymen last week.

If you are still unsure about what you would be getting, or are unsure about the high standards that I designed this to, there is an active discussion over at TalkFestool from a few people that have already taken delivery. There is also some more Q&A there too.  (Granted, the first couple dozen postings are off-topic chat, but toward the end of the thread, people began receiving their units and posting comments.)

I think you will be surprised, as others have, with just how robust I designed this to be. I'll be looking for your order.

Rick I have been away from my computer for 2 weeks and have only just seen it. It?s obviously built to a very high standard and a very, very clever idea. Soon as I seen the concept I knew I have to have one. I can see my new accessory stop gathering dust.

This is a notification that this topic has been moved to the Sales & Dealer Area.  The previous board called "Amazing Member Inventions" will be removed due to lack of content.  Thanks.

This accessory looks to be very useful. Has anyone used it and care to share their review of the tool?

Thanks,

Mike

Rick just finished his video on building a drawer with the Domino and his Multi-position Guide Stop (MGS).  Check it out at Rick's site, click on the "video" tab at the top of the page to watch Rick in action. [thumbs up]

Why it's the Festool vacuum clamping jig of course. ;D  It's not available here in the States and no word if it will be in the foreseeable future.

Nice video! One could think he works for Festool  [tongue] [smile]

Rick has so many Festools I don't see how he knows where to reach for what tool next???
I think it's a great video that he and Laurie have done and it really demonstrates the accuracy of the Multi-position Guide Stop -- all of his mortises were done on the "close" setting so there was zero room for error at assembly.

The vacuum clamping setup although I'll bet we'll pay a dear price for looks like an extremely efficient way to hold work pieces and eliminates the need for vises.

I ordered one with my recent Domino purchase, and hadn't gotten around to how to actually use it.  That video is a great crash course Rick.

... and it really demonstrates the accuracy of the Multi-position Guide Stop -- all of his mortises were done on the "close" setting so there was zero room for error at assembly.

We were so pressed for time while shooting that I forgot to verify my guide stop setup--what you see in the video is the "LIVE" setup that I later used to mortise the drawers. What is even worse is that I didn't realize this oversight until we were shooting the single-take shot of gluing up the drawer (the camera was rolling from start-to-finish, and it had to be done in one-take). It didn't dawn on me that I never made a test-fit until I was actually placing the 4th board on the sides!  [scared] If you look close, you can see the expression on my face when the pieces fit together.  [tongue]

I honestly didn't think the pieces were going to fit together, because when I was setting up the guide, I was concentrating on what I was saying, not what I was doing.

As they always say "it's better to be lucky than good" -- having good tools and a great Multi-position guide stop perhaps helps just a little.  [big grin]

Hi, Rick.  Nice video, thanks for posting a link to it.  Just ordered your guide stop, long overdue.

Regards,

John

 

[Rick Christopherson]

Thanks John. I got the order and will get that out right away.

I have got to say that looks a great addition to the Domino, I also liked the much talked about video, so full of good info. But, what had me rolling about  was the end credits... just gotta be Laurie's input ( Based on Laurie's posts on TF) [big grin]
Way to go you guys, infotainment at it's most useful and productive best. [thumbs up]

Rob.
