Your favourite project with the Domino DF500

[Walk On Wood]

This is a 5/8" medallion I'm making for a customers floor using barnwood from their property. Lots of 5mm dominos in there. This pic is pre-glue. Still have to route the center circle out, fill in the outside, and route the 36" outside diameter.

I'll have to follow this thread!  My domino 500 arrives Monday [emoji2]

So many to choose from but I think my favourite has to be a large farmhouse style kitchen table. The table is approx 3000mm by 1400mm.
Domino 500 to join the boards, make the apron / legs connection easier, breadboard ends, buttons to connect the top to apron and makes a great middle connection to slide the tops together. We left this unglued to ease dismantle if required.
The domino is such a brilliant tool.

A couple of my favorite Domino projects are this curved glass top table, which is made from 5 semi-circular sections Dominoed together and my "Z" table.

[member=29138]Steve-Rice[/member] curious how you going about doing the mortises with the angles like that on the Z table?  I can see how doing two mitered edges together, but two different angle like that, no clue how to go about doing that.

Gixxerjoe04 - It's not really all that complicated as you are basically just joining two flat surfaces.  For the table top, measure your angle with an angle gauge and copy that angle to your Domino fence. For the table leg,  the trick is just to line up the center of the mortises with each other by using the mortise center line on the side edge of the stationary section of the Domino fence.

I hope this helps,

Steve

I bought my DF 500 over 4 years ago and it has transformed my woodworking. I had to sell my (then) top of the range Lamello in order to raise the funds to buy the Domino and I have not regretted that for one moment. I do accept that some woodworking operations benefit from a biscuit approach but as I do not make kitchen cabinets any more I have not missed it. Within a few months of getting the Domino I sold my morticing machine. Although it worked quite well the making of tenons was a bind.

I have used the DF 500 for all of my workshop benches, Kapex station, castor carriage and more. I have made tables, chairs and picture frames. The difference with the DF 500 is that the joints are quick to set up and quick to make and perfectly strong.

Here are a couple of Domino projects:

Our joinery is a bit bland compared to some of the work on here but I love saving money.

Please use a push stick instead of a bare hand to guide the stock (if felt necessary) - 0:23 - and use a splitter or riving knife for the ripping.

This was my biggest and favorite Domino project. It was a king size bed frame & headboard. All quarter sawn white oak.

Actually, the bed sits horizontally! Not sure how to fix the picture.
