Same here. It's all about using one's head. Also, I think it's good to first use the other methods (if only because you are too broke to affort a fancy tool) before you get enough money to buy the fancy tool. And I see two advantages to this: i) obviously, you will (havo to) understand some things in order to finds solutions around the limitations posed by you not having all the fancy tools, so you'll use your brain more, and ii) it would avoid the pitfall consisting in buying a lot of expensive fancy tools then go bankrupt before even starting your business (or so low on money you won't be able to afford buying basic tools you didn't realize you need).
@oldkingcrow777 Жыл бұрын
@@SerbanCMusca-ut8ny exactly my thoughts. I had the funds to buy all the "fancy" tools off the bat, but specifically did dozens of hours of research and tried to find the best mid range benchtop stuff. Totally agree it's best to learn on cheaper stuff, or no stuff! You end up training your brain and eventually if/when you can justify it or treat yourself you're in a great situation. Just like she said in the video, she had to learn how to grt around stuff, and look now how "obvious" solutions are to her. Love it. I'm just now buying a used biscuit joiner, got myself a makita track saw and one day it will be awesome to have a domino, but since I don't NEED it I just can't stomach it even if I can "afford" it. If/when I start selling my hobby projects, I'll definitely get one

I recently invested in a dowelmax and that thing is simply amazing. Pretty much dummy proof once you get into the habit of using the checkmark system. For the longest time I used loose tenons made with a router jig I designed, but it wasn't as quick as I'd like. I also used to have a domino and the dowelmax is every bit as accurate, and the joints are plenty strong for woodworking projects. The domino is a bit quicker, but the cost of entry is about 4x that of the dowelmax. I ended up selling my domino since there was a period I had to stop woodworking for a bit. I'm back into the swing of things though, and once I get a few other big tool purchases behind me (CNC and then a sawstop) I'll get the domino again. That thing is a joinery game changer. Enjoy your new toy!

How does buying/using a Domino equate to growing as a wood worker? It's a highly specialised tool for people where time = money. I.e. furniture production. In that context it makes perfect sense. For a hobbyist wood worker it is a luxury purchase that shows you've got more money than sense. For a YT content creator it reduces viewer interest if you keep pulling out a tool that viewers can't afford each time you need to join two pieces of wood together in a project.

It feels like we’re all learning together. However, we all have to grow and improve - and that includes our tools as well as ourselves - so there’s no need to feel guilty about upgrading.

Good luck with your new toy! I'm jealous. I think part of your appeal has been your "relateability" to new wood workers. You use the tools we have or help find a way for the tools we don't. This is switching from fixing honda engines to Ferrari engines. fun to watch but perhaps less likely to inspire someone to have a go themselves.

Does the shop stay the same so the content remains consistent (like dedicated to making content for new woodworkers a la Woodworking for Mere Mortals), or does the shop continue to evolve over time (like many of ours do). Gotta decide what your passion is, I think. Tamar is pretty clear about it, she gets it, addresses it, and I hope many will understand.

I don't know a lot about woodworking, but nearly everything I learned was from watching Norm Abram every morning on PBS while I was getting ready for work. He had all these fancy tools to make certain cuts or joints, so my default reaction was "well, guess I can't build that project either...". The more episodes I watched, the more I realized he taught many other techniques to achieve the same results. Thank you for this video. So much great information.

Domino was game changer. Worth every penny. No controversy at all. Just a niche segment of people who do hand tool stuff. I was trained in hand tool use and maintenance in my mid-teens at school 1968 to 1972. Used hand tools (inc drill and brace) for over 15 years till could afford machines. Still have my tools and dowels jig but machinery is faster, I don't have space for heavy benches, and I often work in people's homes and gardens. Machinery almost every time, especially modern dust control systems. Others will have said how biscuits are good for alignment but not strength. Dominos are tenons

Funny how discussions about wood joinery become so colourful... decorative or functional, old vs new,. For many speed, cost, safety and repeatability matter too. There is so much to consider if one truly wants to explore the merits and suitability of one joint, wood species/material and geometry over another for a given load profile, function and aesthetic. As an old structural engineer that has worked on numerous wood, wood composite and timber structures, along with putzing around in my own shop - it is fun to just build stuff and improve my skill at working with wood, regardless of the tools I may have at hand. 3x3Custom - Tamar... great content and always a super delightful attitude, makes me smile, get off the couch and into the shop.

Tamar, I fully understand your idea to get the domino in an effort to save time of your projects, I am not a pro but I don’t have much time to dedicate in the shop between work and family, time is scarce. I saved and got the domino, absolutely no regrets, it enabled me to saved a lot of time and achieving projects much quicker. You have always showed different ways to make joints in your past videos. Being such an entertaining person, your videos are fun to watch! Keep up the good work!

As a carpenter in a small cabinet manufacturing company, I think it’s a great tool. Yes, it’s expensive, but worth it. Sure furniture makers would love to do it all by hand but there is a saying in the area I work. “I know a lot of poor furniture makers”. The fact is that with how competitive the market is and how much cheap labor there is in other countries, some of which using not so nice business practices, we here in the west need to be able to do things well and do them quickly.

The thing is, Domino joiners are fantastic tools. They take a very common and often difficult-to-solve woodworking process (cutting mortise/tenons) and make it quick/clean. At the end of the day this is what every tool is supposed to do: take a difficult or tedious task and make it faster and easier. The difference with the Domino is accessibility. A lot of woodworkers can't justify the cost and don't have one, which can make this type of content less relatable since we at home are going through a different problem solving process than the person making the content. The person making the content no longer has to determine what the best way to accomplish a joint is, whether it's the right application for dowels, biscuits, or a handcut M&T, because the person making the content has a domino joiner which solves all these problems. Much like CNC: they are fantastic tools and very helpful when properly applied, but everybody would rather watch someone handcut a joint than use a CNC to cut the same joint. Anyway, people shouldn't be mad regardless, but I think that's how some people I've talked to feel at least. Super excited you were able to get one, I hope to be able to as well some day! Also thanks for all the great alternatives, it was a fantastic compilation!

Thanks again for not only reminding us about finding optional ways around a missing tool, but also giving us your insight in the how and why you use a particular tool and approach to different woodworking applications. One thing I would point out on using the spline though is the use of a plunge cut on each end and cutting the length so that the spline doesn't show on the end for pieces that would be visible such as in a divider or when edge joining two pieces together where there won't be banding around the outside edges. Always learn from watching your videos, Tamar. Thanks,

and for those of you would like to make tools - there are many DIY solutions to building your own loose tenon mortise cutting tool some replicate the fence function and cut the equivalent to Tamar's various loose tenon jigs but in the same usability of the Festool Domino, and others focus more on the left - right oscillation aspect with a simpler fence - they all use a standard palm/trim router as the spindle, but you could use any CNC spindle as well - the creative sky is the limit.

Congrats on the domino! We all wish we had one too and that’s why some peeps get mad so I wouldn’t worry about it…I have been looking for an affordable yet efficient way for dowel joinery, almost bought the dowelmax, but then ran across a video from Dennis at Hooked on Wood (episode 27), he does a series on China Tools and when I saw his video on a dowel joining system, I was “hooked”…I ordered the kit and was not disappointed. It’s not as fast as the domino, but it’s not much slower…it’s ideal for cabinet making, shelves/dividers and edge joining for glue ups…for about $110 I was able to get a jig that is fast and accurate, makes seamless joints…if I was a pro like yourself I would absolutely buy a domino, but for me this cheap but quality jig was a true bargain and excellent find…keep up the good content!
@carlwebinar1571 3 жыл бұрын
Tamar, I think with the spline edge gluing technique, you might be better served to flip the piece over and rout/cut the groove again from a different side to make sure it is centered. It will give you a 'loose' fit and give you more room for glue on the edge grain. It will require more careful alignment, but in reality, that is what 'loose' tenon joiner is all about.

I feel the same way. The Domino always seemed to me like, as Chris Salamone of FourEyes says, "Woodworking on Easy mode" and I swore I wasn't going to take shortcuts like that. Felt real superior. What changed my mind (and I just got my Domino DF-500 this week, so we're both new to the tool) was a project where I did lots of loose tenon joints with a router and handmade tenon stock. It worked just fine, but took a lot of time and I was constantly making sure I had the pieces oriented right and taking 3-4 passes with the router per mortise. And I don't have the pressure of a KZfaq channel; just the pressure of trying to pack the most woodworking into a short weekend. But I got the Domino so I won't have to spend my time obsessing over mortises; I can instead spend that time either improving the designs or just getting things done faster to go on to the next project. (I have quite a list in waiting.)

Twenty years ago when I was 18 I went to a votech for Cabinetmaking. I heard this trick to microwave the dowels to shrink them, so I decided to nuke my dowels in the shops adjacent lunch area. Well, I set the timer too long and forgot about them. When I got back to the micronuker, they were on fire. I grabbed the melting container with my bare hands, flaming dowels inside, and sprinted 25' to the shop sink to douse them. Thankfully, the only carnage was $15 in dowels, and one severely bruised ego in front of my class. So, of you cook them, keep an eye on them! Btw, I own lots of Festool. Don't make apologies, you only have so much time in life, so use the equipment to speed up the process! Keep up the great work.

I use my Makita biscuit joiner in many occasions and appreciate that it cost maybe 15% of a domino and came with dust capture also. However, when a stronger joint is really important, chairs and tables for example then a loose tenon joint is much stronger so use your jig. Pocket holes are great for certain jobs but you are right that they are not for structural load work. Use a jointing sled to get around not having jointer and dado jigs along with the micro jig dado tool on the table saw. So many ways to do everything, some are better for particular tasks.

I use 3 methods: 1) use a pocket hole jig, but no depth stop. Just go right through and into the other piece of wood. Glue in a dowl and done really fast. And it has dust collection. 2) just use a drill guide with a fence attached so the center of the hole is always 3/8" from the edge of the piece. 3) just clamp everything in place and drill right the way through one piece and into the other. Flush cut a dowl and move on.

Can I suggest another dowel alignment for your case 2? A friend of mine uses brads (tiny nails) fro glue ups, and they could also give you your alignment markings. Put the nails in the edge piece, nip off the head at an angle, align and press down to mark the face of the second piece. Remove and pull out the nails (Carefully!). It doesn't take long at all. This method is also useful in your first glue-up case, especially for very thin stock.
