When you build your drawers that way, they always look so clean and precise . I like that look a lot, and no doubt they are probably just shy of bomb p roof.
Seriously, I have thought for some time you should contact Festool and be t heir Domino guy. I am not being facetious! I only know a couple of guys t hat have that tool, but I heard through the grapevine somewhere that the Do mino is a great seller for Festool. Yet, I never hear or see anyone using that tool except you and never see any examples of its use anywhere!
Kathy and I will saddle up about once a year and get out of town and go to some of the towns around here that are in the "The Hill Country" where ther e are some artist communities. The artists are different every time we go so we have seen quite a few furniture and cabinet builders, restorers, "one off" makers, etc. We go north one year, then the next year we go northeas t, so we get the Texas Furniture Makers annual show sometimes, the Fredrick sburg Arts and Crafts Show, the same in Bandera and even one in Blanco.
Out of all the craftsmen we see that turn out easily produced pieces to the guy that has a custom wet bat in progress at his shop, I have never seen o ne Domino. Like you, it is a machine they could truly use on just about ev ery project. Yet every one of the folks I have talked to over the years th at owns one of those shops has never used a Domino and in most cases, don't know what they are.
I can easily see you in a gremlin green van touring Texas as "Dan Domino" p reaching the gospel of mortised spline joinery to the masses. Not kidding, Leon. I have never seen more creative work with that tool than you do.
