That's cool. . . . Anybody try this yet?

idea. I can see where that could be very useful.

mitered corner with construction lumber?

Kinda reminds me of those ubiquitous corner fasteners my grandfather used to use to fix window screens, on steroids. :)

[Robatoy]

I think it would work okay with hardwoods.

[GarageWoodworks]

Very cool. What are they made of?

biscuits won't work with Porter Cable biscuit joiners, will they?

[Mark & Juanita]

I'm building a game console to go in our son's room, nothing very fancy, just some cherry trim and cherry plywood with a laminate top to match his desktop (which right now has become a game table with a small portable TV on it (he does his homework in the kitchen so he can pester my wife or myself with how hard it is and how much help he needs. :-) This would have been very handy for both the mitered top frame and the miters on the console base. The biscuits would not be visible and the clamping and pulling the pieces together would do much better than the in the ends of the frames

The flyer which I received in the mail, had the URL in the review. They claim any biscuit joiner will work. here's a bit more.

I think I have a better solution....the Domino.

[Robatoy]

But you're still clamping. This is for Q&D work, not fine furniture.

Yeah that is true but I have to justify the cost of the Domino,,,, just like Lamello is coming up with ways to justify payinf mor for their product.. LOL.

Seriousely though I have made a dozen or so picture frames and used the Kreg jig and pocket hole screws to fasten the corners. I made the frame material, 2 pieces, in to long moldings after staining each of the 2 pieces different colors.

Luckily no tear out in the miters so no touch was needed and the pocket holes closed the miters perfectly.

Just watched TOH and Tommy was using a Domino to make his built-in bookcase carcases.

They were also using a Delta line boring machine to do the adjustable shelf pin holes ... eatcherheartout, viewers!

I tuned in late, but didn't see any Festool ... :)

demo they did, the 4 flat miters and the 4 butt miters. $ 8.00. That still makes it Quick & Dirty, but not Cheap & Dirty. Hell, I can throw a band clamp on for $ 4.00.. or as you suggested, use the Kreg. Those Lamello bastards....

[Robatoy]

The Domino would be a nice fit for my shop. So would a nice powerful bread-dough mixer for the house. *S* That's a fun hobby so far. Annnd, as with most hobbies, there's this lunatic fringe which has quite a presence on the net. I'm hoping this interest of mine fades. (Butter pecan raisin loaf is NOT low-cal)....(but farking awesome!!!)

I have seen them using "your" saw in the las couple of weeks.

[GROVER]

The Paslode corrrugated nailer will do that mitering task for about $0.25 and quite a bit faster. Joe G

[Robert Haar]

The difference is that the Lamello self-clamping biscuits can be used with just about any biscuit slot cutter. You don't have to buy their expensive tool.

[Robatoy]

I have one, but it is very crude in its execution. It actually works on the same principle. Doing what they did in the video with a Paslode would have had splinters flying everywhere and I'm not sure the butt- mitre would have worked at all. The Paslode sure has its place in a countertop shop though. BTW, $

0.01 per fastener is more like it. I bought 4000 for 43.00 US$. Effective, but crude. Real crude. Those fasteners enter the work-piece with the force of a small sledgehammer.
