I've changed over to all domino construction for my cases, face frames and drawer boxes/pullouts.  Saved time, and made assembly even smoother and easier.  Unless client requests certain features, I'm sticking with the domino joint.

I have used Dominoes in every project I have made, ever since the Domino came to the US.  Even use them in chairs.  No failures or callbacks.  Real game changer.
 
I have been working on a nightstand for my daughter and used all Domino joints. There is no comparison between cutting mortise and tenon joints and using the Domino. Even the hard to place joints (which would have been less hard to place if I had thought farther ahead) came out perfect. There is just no better tool for making joints in almost any project. What always amazes me is how square and solid the joints are. I usually don't even worry about 90 degree joints going together at exactly 90 degrees. They always just do.
 
I agree with everything above. The Domino has transformed my woodwork - not only the ease of construction but the quality of the finished product and the sheer enjoyment.

Make my living from joinery, bought domino when it first came out in uk, bought XL when that came out. Could not imagine life without them now, could manage without some of my festools but not my dominos.

I agree with everything above,and the domino possibly been the machine that is amortized in less time than any other machine I bought.
