Domino, Domino, everywhere a Domino

A $1500 dollar tool isn’t a future order anymore. Every hobby woodworker that can afford it, is buying them up. I think the future high end will be be the Domino affect…

Ok?


must be a rant in here somewhere.

Kinda like pocket holes in high end.

How does how a loose tenon was made have anything to do with quality? Oh yea, it doesn't.

[Ted Baxter]

I don't understand

It shouldn't be all that long until Harbor Freight comes out with one.
Around this time next year?

Two glue joints is never as good as one..

Floating tenons are miles away from a short screw driven at an angle.

[jack duren]

Wouldn’t surprise me..

I look forward to some day having a mortise and tenon setup (I'd really like one of those Japanese machines with an open saw blade, but they don't seem to exist in the NA market).

Making a spinning cutter that oscillates is not a cheap tool. The domino came out in 2007. Why would China wait 17 years if they were going to make one?

New product most are in favor of like pocket screws

[jack duren]

They make Jorgensen gear clamps too, but that didn’t last. Sure a lawyer had something to do with it.

I don't understand

I don't either, and I'm predominantly a hand-tool guy.


in the 17ish years of these things being available, lots of high-end work has been done with them... I am sure. Since well, really small shops are the target audience for these tools anyway.

Not entirely sure the point of this post.

There are different ways to attach things, all at different price points.
The final product is what counts, the combination of aesthetics and longevit yhave the final say, regardless of construction method.
