I use dowels as my primary joinery method. Having a high end doweling jig like the dowelmax or jessem greatly enhance the speed and accuracy. I prefer the dowelmax; amazingly well built jig, extremely accurate and almost dummy proof. It removes pretty much all negative aspects of dowel joinery. I do use pocket screws in conjunction with dowels sometimes; that eliminates the movement with pocket screws. I'd love a domino, but honestly, my dowelmax has been working so well for me that I've held off. That's a one day tool for me. Biscuit joiners should be the dodos of tools; the only difference being dodos are more useful and shouldn't be extinct. Unlike biscuit joiners. XD Seriously, I used to have a biscuit joiner (PC 557) and it's easily the worst tool purchase I ever made. I sold it many years ago and it felt like I was exorcising a demon. edit: Caleb, you're not supposed to move the domino width selector when the tool is off...

Best part of the video was the intro, I am having a coffee emergency. Love it and those who know you know it is true.

Exactly why I bought a Domino. I'm not a professional but wanted to go through projects faster and with more precision. Every time I get this tool out it justifies it's price no question. But people have to understand there still is a learning curve, especially for complex angles. But once you get funky joints figured out I don't think there's a better tool out there. No buyers remorse on this one. Like he said though: if you dont have the money to spare and/or you actually want to spend more time fine tuning a joint etc than this tool is definatly not necessary.

Thanks Caleb. I appreciate these tips and information. I am a dowel/pocket screw kind of guy. I don't need a domino often enough to spend the money.

One man production crew in action! lol

Good technical thoughts for joinery. Letting the novice to the pro on how to join items. Thanks Caleb.

Great tips and pointers thanks for sharing

I would love to have a domino Jig. I just don't think my work warrants getting one yet.

I recently got the Grizzly power dowel jig for a project and hope that speeds things up. The domino would be nice but I can’t justify it as a hobbyist. Also, one critique, and I sincerely don’t mean this as a troll. I enjoy watching your videos and I am subscribed but I wish you would do a bit more on the editing side and eliminate the outtakes. I don’t know if it is intentional but since as a viewer I can’t tell if it is intentional it should probably be cleaned up some. Otherwise you are good in front of the camera with a good natural speaking voice. Either way I will continue to watch but just offer the suggestion to hopefully help you grow your channel.

Really fantastic tips, Caleb! Thanks! 😃 I want to get a good doweling jig, but they are kinda expensive here in Brazil. But I'm still searching! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Thanks for sharing that!

Dowel pin centers are the answer to perfect dowel alignment. I made a domino joiner. It's neat and dominos are cool, but I'm better with dowels. Good summation Caleb.

Great information.

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

Thanks for your videos. I like your background wall, but the logo is not level and the OCD in me is getting annoyed everytime I see it ;-)

I know I'm about to ruffle feathers.....but IMHO, everything with "Festool" on it is vastly overpriced and "dominos" are a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Are they faster?....sure, a little....but not enough to justify the cost for me. I'll stick to dowels a d use pocket screws where appropriate....

Manufactures tend to copy each others tools, for example, look at how many companies now make their versions of a track saw, why haven’t we’ve seen a bunch of copycats of the domino machines?
