New Domino Owner

[KevinW]

I just tool delivery of a Domino.

I have a pending project where I need to fasten molding to front of a cabinet made of 3/4 plywood and maple edging to 3/4 plywood shelves.  The former I would do with pocket screws and perhaps that is the better approach. The latter I would use finishing nails to hold until glue dries.  Would the Domino work well for either of these applications? If so, how do I approach it.

Also, is there a good video or website that covers the basics of the Domino opperation. 

Thanks

And be sure to also watch Paul Marcel's most excellent Domino review as he covers a lot of the basics of how to adjust the tool, use the scales and scribe marks, etc...

Thanks for the compliment, Scot!

Here's a link to my review I posted on my blog... it includes links back to the thread here plus since it's a 'label' link, you'll see the other 5 articles I put up about the Domino.  The label link only shows you the articles about the Domino; if you click on the main blog banner, you'll get the rest.

Also, I had erroneously described the width settings as being width +0, +3 and +6mm when they are really +0, +6 and +10mm.  I annotated the video on YouTube to correct that.  I don't usually count on the size that way, but I shouldda verified before recording; oops!  [embarassed]

Kreg's video series on making built-ins also highlights an interesting way to use the domino: for aligning and holding a workpiece while using a different fastener.
