I should have named this, Americas Funniest Videos. I have had he Festool Domino 500 for a couple of months. I am ready to glue up my third project. The first project I had to sand the Dominios into submission to get the parts to fit. Still came out very nice. Second project I used a sharp pencil and a square to make lay out marks. TODAY, using a different thicknesses wood the test mortise was a little close to the edge. (Actually would have been OK.) I adjusted it by eye and cut another practice mortise. Perfect height, moved on to my project and cut a mortise put a Dominio in an it was angled. I should have put a spacer under my work piece. Cut another project piece and did a test cut on scrap. PERFECT! On to my project, making sure everything is going to line up. Clamped the pieces down grabbed the Domino and ready to go. The pieces were clamped upside down, no lines to go by. This isn't going to happen again so I marked every piece inside, outside, back, front, top, and bottom. Sixteen mortises with eight Dominios, pretty close to perfect. My make shift clamping system needs to be more thought out. The Festool clamping station on the videos looks like it is pretty slick. I also Thin good light is important. Glad no one was watching me.
if anyone has a versatile homemade clamping setup l would like to see it.
