New "domino killer" dowel guide for drills

[onocoffee]

But mostly, I just love using it and that is good enough,

I think this is the key. Many of us here are not making our living doing woodworking, so the calculus is different. I enjoy using the Domino. I used a friends Domino once and decided that it was worth the expense. If I were into cars, the numbers would be much larger than the Domino (even a used Mondial Cabriolet is now pushing $60K).

I see the Domino Killer videos with all kinds of contraptions to make a Domino style mortise and just don't get it. To a certain extent, I'm lazy - I want it to be easy. The Domino takes patience to learn its ways but delivers. If I had to do the work to get those router and drill things to make the mortise, I would give up on it and learn how to use a chisel.

But I don't think that the woodworkers who prefer doing mortise and tenon by hand are the Domino haters. They tend to be amicable to the Domino (and may have on themselves). It's more of the power tool woodworkers who seem to have the biggest issues - mainly on cost and then spent an inordinate amount of time and mental gymnastics to craft their rationale.

(My spell checker keeps making dubious “corrections”. It changed “boring jig” to “borking jig”, and it changed “borking” to “nothing”. I had to look up “borking”. If my spell checker is an indication of the direction of A.I., then I worry for our future.)

Borking: to attack or defeat (a nominee or candidate for public office) unfairly through an organized campaign of harsh public criticism or vilification

Turn it off would stop that. I must admit I have never used one so my suggestion is obvious to me.

I never turned it on. It just showed up when I got the Firefox search engine. I will google if there are any settings that control that.

Well unfortunately, $60K only gets you in the door... it doesn't get you a seat at the table.
