    I'm building David Johnson's danish cord bench (featured in Fine Woodworking in 2020). I am building it out of ash. Rather than traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery as David uses, I'm going with the...

    I concur with Jeff.

    If you're dropping $1K on the domino, as I (and many others here) did, then the cost of the dominos themselves is not particularly prohibitive. And I bought the domino in part...

    Question about tool handles
