   Marc,
   Great video as usual! One thing I was curious to know was how would you treat the shoulder cut as it wood relate to a round surface? Maybe a 6″ dia?

   Thanks,
   Ron

   Love your podcasts! Just watched the second part of Tennons and learned a LOT! Thanks man, you really rock. I also checked out the link to the Festool Domino. Like most of the Festool line, Great Tools, I’d love to have them, but talk about sticker shock! My GAWD! I could buy a brand new Jointer for that price. I think for the time being, I’ll stick to old fashioned M&T. I already have the Tennoning jig for my TS.

   Again, great podcasts! Keep up the great work.

   i was taught that unless there is an off cut, there isnt really a kickback danger registering against the fence…but great video!

   So how do you make those tenons on a long board? Huh, Huh, Huh…..? Greg

   Marc, awesome video! Looking forward to the Mission style desk. Sounds like a great project. The Festool Domino looks like a very cool tool. Any advice on how to convice those in the kitchen to allow those in the garage to buy this tool? Another very nice option for mortise & tenon joints is the Leigh FMT (Frame Mortise & Tenon) Jig. Might be worth looking at some time - I know how much you like tools. Check it out at http://www.leighjigs.com/fmt.php

   Thanks again for the great video and website!

   Hey Greg,
   For long boards, I would either clamp the piece to my mitre sled and use the dado blade or make a shop-made jig and use my hand held router. Either one of those should get the job done.

   If you have high ceilings you can even use the tenoning jig.

   Thanks for watching!! Marc

   another great podcast!
   Are there several sized “dominoes” like there are several sized biscuits?

8. Barry Johnson on February 10th, 2007 8:57 am

   To answer Paul yes there are different sized dominos. The available sizes can be seen right here http://www.mcfeelys.com/festoo.....ubcat=25.2 .

   Besides the FMT which looks like an awesome tool to M&T joints of all sizes I wanted to mention the WoodRat which is something of a routing system. It handles M&T joints of all sizes AND does dovetails. Just another option for people to investigate if you are considering the Domino.

   Great website and podcasts Marc. I like the humor and hominess of the episodes. For those prices (Domino) I think I’ll stick with my plunge router and a few MDF jigs. Actually all of the M/T machines are way overpriced.

   my $.02

    What? A fellow spongebob fan who likes woodworking and studied as a biologists, too scary. (note listed in order of importance :D).

    FWIW, for a really long board, I would resort to the old tried and true mortise chisel and mallet >:-D.

    Very nice episode… great information on different options. Very nice mortising tool by Festool… with I made enough mortises to pick one up!

    THANKS!!!

    Which of the three links are you trying to view daniel. I just tried them and they all work for me.

    Marc,
    Good video.
    Just got a domino - only had a couple minutes to play with it so far but i found the tenons so tight they were difficult to remove!

    Beadlock is another option - I have had pretty good luck with the their floating tenon system. It’s pretty cheap and works well.

Got something to say?
