This set up is brilliant ! The only modifications I would make is a crossbar between the adjustable sides so that they move up and down in tandem and perhaps some depth measurement marks for the thickness of stock you are working with. Super impressed with the simplicity of your design !

For your tennon stock, I take a long piece, use the router table to round the edges of the whole long strip, then cut the small pieces at the miter saw. Easy to batch out a long term supply in just a few minutes.

I built it and it works! Thanks, the thing I like the best is that I can still use the router for ordinary tasks.

Easily the best alternative to the $1200 festool version that I have seen to date. I think I might have to try this one.

Looks like something I am going to make and try. The only suggestion is to be able to secure it to the table with a clamp so it doesn't move around. Great idea!

Simple but perfectly effective design. Out of many different takes on the subject this is the one worth making to me. Great content as always, thank you for sharing!

Some times Simple is really the best way I ve looked at a lot DIY tools that are designed to do the same thing that are so much more complicated than your design and probably don't work any better, so I am building your design- many thanks

You know, sometimes simpler is better. I've seen some really clever designs from Pask Makes and Stumpy Nubs and they look great, and I even tried my own design based on the Pask design with limited results. All these others use springs and pivots and, for me, the result was something that simply wasn't robust enough to give good, repeatable results. Simplifying the design to do the one task that you would use a Domino for maybe 80% of the time is a really good approach and removes a lot of the potential error in a more complex design. That router, tool only, is 50 bucks right now. Ryobi isn't my primary system but I do have a couple of tools (and batteries) that I bought for tasks that I didn't want to invest a lot in when I needed a tool for a specific purpose. I think I might try this, it would come in really handy.

Very impressive but I think I was even more impressed by the vice and the display cogs. Very cool.

I can do "that" - Subscribed !! But seriously, what an amazing contraption. A bit easier to make than Tamar's loose tenon jig (that another person has designed), yours does away with a LOT of dovetail grooves, I will compare the capabilities for centering and decide which one to make. Thank you sooo much!

Love this design, great but simple approach. The idea could easily be scaled up for larger tenons, with a 1/2 in collet router. You earned a sub; love the free plans.

This is excellent. Sure beats $$$ for a Domino Jointer that I'd rarely use and the Ryobi cordless router is under $50 right now.

Absolutely genius!!! I can do this now. You are amazing.

Really nicely designed and presented, thanks!

very cool - especialy the sandpaper trick !

Sweet! You asked what shop project would we like to see 9 days ago. I requested, a method for loose tenon joinery. Woo hoo.

Cool project cheap and simple. Perfect for me. Suggest buying and extra base for the router so you can still you it normally with out disabling your contraption. Nice work

Brilliant design, simple and effective. Definitely going to have a try with this. Thanks.

That looks like a super simple build. Even a numpty like me should be able to do that. Cheers mate 😃👍🏻

Thanks for a great video. I will be making your design very shortly. The one thing that concerns me is the adjustability of the fence and how it might be easy to not keep it square. It isn't all that difficult to make so I'm thinking I'll make one for 3/4' stock and another for 1 1/2" stock. Another possibility is to make a bigger one and have shims to attache to the face to change the position for various thicknesses.

Perfect, simple, affordable, and accurate

There are a heap of Domino clones out there, a good number that I have looked at. For the novice, your design wins hands down for simplicity, low cost, and effectiveness. This Aussie says, "Well done, mate."

Awesome build for the money. Those Ryobi One+ trim routers are a stellar deal too.

THIS TIES UP THE ROUTER TO THIS JIG , if you make it removable with the same idea of the wing nuts, you can use the router on other jigs or projects

Oh, I like this! Simpler design than the Stumpy Nubs one I just saw, and it's cordless. (And I already have the Ryobi trim router...) I see myself building this, or a slightly modified version in the near future. Thanks for showing your simple and effective design. 👍

Life is too short for all the cool things that can be done. Awesome work!

Now I need to see if I could modify this to fit my Dewalt router! This is so useful to prevent me from spending too much money on a tool I probably will use not very often! Great video.

Brilliant jig, dude! Fantastic work! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

This is the most simple , but most robust homemade ones I've seen to date. 👍👍👍👍👍

Great built.Now I just need a palm router cause doing this with a plunge router jig.Keep safe.

Absolutely brilliant. Love seeing all the Ryobi tools - looks like my shop!

Such a no-brainer. Just bought the router for $49. I already use Ryobi so I have the batteries. With little spare time, things have to be simple, accurate, and repeatable. When I build mine I want to make sure it fits commercially available loose tenons I can buy rather than make my own. The convenience outweighs the cost saving.

I have to agree that this is the simplest jig to obtain the loose tenon joints. Thank you for thinking out of the box to make the jig.

I made a tool for this using linear bearings for two axis motion. It looks really nice but there is too much play in the assembly. Basically it’s junk. I will try your design now! Thanks!

Спасибо за Вашу работу. Великолепно. Буду делать себе такой же, воспользовавшись вашими наработками и опытом сборки. Использовать буду в первую очередь для "шкант"- шип деревянный, потом для домино. - Россия = Санкт Петербург Thank you for your work. Great. I will make myself the same, using your best practices and assembly experience. I will use it primarily for the "shkant"- a wooden spike, then for dominoes. - Russia = Saint Petersburg

Great idea and nice deployment! Thanks for sharing!

I should have used a cordless router when I made mine. Good job.

Nice job as always. Gotta love your regulation Sandals lol.

Love the sound effects. Really adds to the video.

Very simple and thoroughly explained. Thank you very much!

What a brilliant solution. Very nicely done!

very simple way,but very nice way.wonderful.

Beautiful simple design. No need to roundover the edges of the tenon stock, though. The tenons don't have to fill the whole mortise, since you'll be registering the joint by the marks you made at the beginning. All the strength comes from the glue on the cheeks of the floating tenons, while the "extra" rounded space at the ends of the mortises provides a place for the glue squeezeout.

Brilliant. Going to get started on this this week. Thanks for the free plans 👍

I got one of these on sale a while back for $40 figuring I could use it for a dedicated bevel/roundover setup. But I might just have to repurpose it for this instead. Neat design! By the way, Home Depot has these on sale for $49 right now ($20 off) .

Always learn something watching your videos! Thanks for posting.

This is awesome! I love the design. I'm gonna have to give this build a shot!

Holy shit I came up with that "jam nut" thing when I was a kid working with my dad and he laughed at me. Finally after all these years found this video and know I wasn't stupid lmao.

Straight away, a great build!

Cool idea, maybe add a spring between the router and back of fence?

This is great! I just got the dewalt cordless router and this would work the same I bet! I wanted to do a mortise machine but this seems better!

Great Job! I'll be making this soon.

Nice design. I've aquired a ton of 6mm acrylic sheets & 3mm aluminium plates (thanks Covid 19) & recently aquired an old Dore Westbury milling machine. This looks like a fun first project. I think I'll take this design & adapt it a little. One acrylic square for the router base. Three acrylic sheets for the slider part. #1 with slot for the bit #2 with a big slot to accomodate the router base #3 with a slightly smaller slot to hold the base in place & bolt #1-3 together. 3x acrylic sheets for the face plate. Adjustable side & handle plates from aluminium & a fancy wooden handle. A thin piece of acrylic for the marker part. Will it work? Who knows. Will have fun trying though & if it does work it should look great.

Just awesome!

Very clever, thanks! I just may do this!

Maaan this is brilliant! I happen to have a spare Ryobi router so I seriously might have to make one of these. Thanks for the vid!

Working in slippers + socks just as needs to be! Just like me 😃😃😃 No H&S officer at home...

Great presentation. I was wondering how to do this without the biscuit tool. Thanks! I will let you know how it worked out!

Very nice jig! Thanks a lot for sharing. This one is going on my ToDo list right there at the top... The only mod I'd do would be to replace one of the 2 adjustments with a dowel in the slot and the other one with 1/4-20 knob and threaded insert. Beside this minor mod, the design seems very good and solid. W2G! You got a new subscriber!

This is incredible! Just the design I have been looking for! Thank you!!

PERFECT AND EFFECTIVE. THANK YOU

simple cheap and effective as always!!!!! love your project man

Best one i have seen so far thanks i will try yours .

At 12:56, my faith was restored. Safety sandals in full affect!

Very clever build.

I'm definitely going to try this. OR...something like it. Thanks!✌️

Beauty design.

Amazing build!

Nice thing, thanks a lot for your idea and realization

Awesome. Realy awesome. I wonder where you get all this great ideas. I like your Domino setter a lot. Thank's for your entertaining Videos. You're a sympathic guy. Two thumbs up 👍👍🎉😁

nice project simple and easy to build , i like it

Bro, you always make the best projects... I bought DIY Tyler's plans for his homemade domino, but this one utilizes my same router, and looks pretty stupid easy to make by comparison... I wonder if I can get an extra base to have one with and without the micro adjust, making the tool more versatile but easy to switch... 🤔🤔🤔 Good job, my brother!! Love it!!

Well done 👍👍👍

You sir, have won a subscriber. Well freakin' done!

Definitely a whole lot less expensive than what Festeal charges! Thanks!

Love this build. I just wish it was capable of routing pockets into a panel--like when attaching shelves in a bookcase.

Looking forward to building this in a month or two once I get my garage cleaned up a bit. I'm planning to order the 6mm collet that comes with the UK version of this router (R18TR-0), so that I can use 6mm spiral upcut bits instead of 1/4" and regular/generic dominoes and not have to make my own tenons.

Ok you are spending my money again! I love it! Tool buy!

great idea

Great straight forward simple router jig to make and best thing is the money not buying the festool domino plus extractor.

Thank you so much for showing mistakes. Let's us know that not everyone does it perfect the first time. Great content, you gained a new subscriber!

Very good video. Way to stick it to the green tool cult and represent the common man's budget!

Great job. Nicely done. Keep up with the great ideas.

Great idea

That's really cool!

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

Outstanding video - well done.

If you got yourself an oval cutting bit, you wouldn't need to move it back and forth. Nice build!

I'm only 4 minutes in, BUT, the blue piece on the plan needs a notch cut out of it where it meets the other piece, and that other piece needs a scribed line to indicate the middle of the cut, so you can get the dominoes holes exactly where you want them. Line up your 2 work pieces, slap a pencil mark across the joint, then just line the.... Oh, wait, just got to the part where you are making the plastic alignment thing.... Awesome video, thank you!

I really like your design except for one thing…. I would have used threaded inserts instead of hanger bolts. With the hanger bolts you cannot remove the router base from the handle base. Using inserts you could remove the handle and use it to make slots on the face of a panel. A small change but would add to the flexibility. Most of the Domino alternatives can be used on the lumber face, this small change should work.

Super cool!

Great video.

Cool beans! I like to see videos like this!

wow. $60 spent to get a $1000+ tool. Incredible!

My second step was to put it back in the box and send it back!

Not surprised you didn't cut out the pocket on your CNC router but I was kinda wishing you had. Nice project.

Te la comiste con esta herramienta. Tremenda idea, Genial.👍

nice design

Dang. I think I'll make one. Especially with that router being on sale for $35 today on DTO.

Whoa, you just saved me $1000!
