Which Festool Domino? And more! – Ask TWW
In today’s Q&A we’ll discuss my commercial property, mortise chisels, finish for Ash, finish for walnut, and which festool domino.
00:04 – The Firehouse Property
William wants to know how big our commercial property is and if we have plans to expand. The entire property is about an acre. A good portion of the square footage is a paved parking lot and a septic field. So if we ever do expand it would have to be forward toward the road.
01:43 – What’s the deal with Mortise Chisels?
Tom wants to know what the deal is with Mortise Chisels. He had a lot of questions and I tried to answer them.
03:43 – Gaming Dining Table out of Ash? Same finish?
Scott is building the Gaming Dining Table and wants to know if I still recommend the finish I used at the time, which was a wiping varnish. And I do! Nothing wrong with wiping varnish. In fact, you can learn how I like to apply it here.
04:46 – A good finish for walnut?
Gary wants a recommendation on a finish for walnut. Walnut is pretty forgiving with finishes and outside of water-based finishes that might cause a little bit of a bluish or hazy appearance, just about anything will look decent.
05:59 – Let teak age naturally?
Yellow Mug Inc. wants to know my thoughts on teak graying naturally. Personally, I don’t love the way gray weathered wood looks so I generally try to stop that from happening. Check out this video I did showing different finishes and how they held up in the real world.
07:08 – Which Festool Domino to purchase?
Calvin can’t decide between the Domino 500 vs Domino XL and has trouble justifying the cost. My recommendation is that he actually doesn’t buy a Domino if he truly doesn’t see the value. But to answer the question, I generally recommend people go with the Domino 500 unless they are frequently making large items like big tables and beds.
