Ya saw that one a a while back. Necessity is the mother of of invention as they say. You got to love creativity here. Funny how many manufactured jigs there are on the market now.you used to have to to dream them up yourself.

Just now saw a dutch guy 17 years old who build a full CNC router !!! I'm flabbergasted . I bet most of us can't even build that with the instructions. www.instructables.com/id/Building-a-CNC-router/That thing looks way better, stronger made than my Festool table saw. |

The title got my attention and my answer is the Domino "joint" which is a mortise and tenon is superior to to a dowel joint. I'm not a tool brand guy, just a furniture maker and this is how I see the tool comparison. The Domino could be built with better quality engineering but, for what it produces it's the best on the market today and that includes all dowel and biscuit machines.

The domino is better at certain applications, others the dd40, and for certain things a lamello. The strongest joints are cut by traditional means. I'd like to see a domino outperform a drawbored mortise and tennon. Start adding haunches, dovetails and the like and you have the most solid joints possible.

There is a Russian woodworker that uses the domino joiner with his own designed interface tooling and he makes incredible finished projects. I love the homemade knockoff domino joiner it shows a lot of handmade craftsmanship but, I would rather just buy the Domino.

Ya I've noticed a lot of fuss over the strongest joining machine, and people seem to forget traditional joinery, especially if strength is an issue. With machines we're sacrificing strength for convenience. Of course, dowel, loose tennons, biscuits or what have you can be plenty strong enough for a lot of applications and their ease of use makes them popular. traditional joinery cannot be beaten for strength however.

Sometimes I think we over complicate certain joinery. Some things are strong enough for that application. I've Demoed stapled cabinets that are cleated to walls that are 35+ years old. Cabinets still worked and functioned just fine. I've seen outdoor cedar shutters that are butted and screwed together. Shutters still working just fine after 20+ years.
Understanding how something gets used helps distinguish what joint serves the function. I'm a purist by nature but "good enough" comes with experience. Not everything needs to last as long as the pyramids. Some things are more functional than refined. Quality isn't always complicated or difficult.

In a business setting, the definition of "good enough" can be a bit fluid sometimes. When the main features of your work -- joinery in our case -- are all that everyone involved focuses on, however, there isn't much wiggle room. The errors are there for all to see and they're well and truly what your reputation is based on ... and building something that can be useful (and hopefully admired) for generations is one of the main things that pushed me to learn more and more about to the craft.
