Very nice, Charles! I like your idea to use dominos in the future - they save so much time and are just as strong as traditional joinery.
I took the Festool router class 3 years ago in April. That was a great experience and I learned some new things that led me to buy an MFS after that. You never realize how much time and frustration the right tools save until you use them. ![]()

That's just beautiful, Charles! Is that the first piece you've shared with us? Wonderful design and workmanship. I hope your daughter appreciates it.
I agree about the dominos. Mortise and tenons are fun for a while, but geez. Hundreds?!? ![]()

I too like like the contrast, and love that curly maple! Over 100 mortice & tenons and dovetailed drawers, this will last generations. How did you go about making all of those? The pull out table, is the central panel solid wood? I think i can see you have a solid wood edge all round. Very nicely done ![]() |

The class had three or four mortisers available, and they were set up for different mortise locations and depths. There are a lot of identically placed mortises in this piece, so only a handful of setups were required.
In one of my upcoming projects I am planning to use a mortiser to cut finger joints onto the ends of 4" wide 8/4 Poplar. If my ceilings were higher, I probably would do it on the table saw. Charles

Yes, the central part is solid wood rabbeted into the frame and glued only to the front part of the frame.
