Domino or not domino

[wizer]

Yes I realise they are specialist cutters, I just meant that it might be possible for them to make longer ones.

It wasn't a criticism Pete, just not something i'd do. I'm sure dom's are strong enough especially with modern adhesives. I just don't think there long enough to stop the twisting and cupping of wider timbers used in doors and also, i'd rather wait another year or 2 too see if there is any reports of failure on others work before i risk my own!

 

[Yetty]

Pete, what type of glue did you use on the external door with the Domino? and would you use this again or some other?

None taken - just wanted folks to be aware that it can be done . I understand your reservations completely, but these were relatively small doors and, if I'm honest, were part of a 'tart and depart' project by the owners; didn't quite work out as they planned though!

Re. the glue, it was just regular weatherproof PVA - Evostick Resin W probably - whatever my timber yard stocks. I'm using Polyten for interior stuff these days, but I'm not that fussed about it really; haven't had a glue joint fail since I was at school

Cheers, Pete

I'm using that and claiming it as my own.

You'd need a longer plunge action, and then things would get wibblier (or heavier).

 

[wizer]

yes, of course, a longer bit would mean you would not be able to register the machine on the front of the work.

DOMINOES

I was pondering this last night and thought - yes an oak door on the 'shop would be nice as would hardwood windows - but sod it - I can't imagine the Edwardians would have bothered for what is in essence an outhouse. SO the instant 100's of savings - hmm. Perhaps a few more phone calls to dealers to see what I can get. Besides will see who's at Harrogate doing Festool - after all they've a stall to pay for and some profit is better than none!

No one, not a sniff of a Festool today :shock: ](*,) :evil:

Thats a shame, I was planning on weighing up a purchase on Sunday. The exhibitors list has someone down as selling Festool - presumably not there?

I was told by the midlands rep that there would be a Festool stand with their northern rep being present, but i couldn`t find them, & i did look.

Perhaps they are only doing Sat/Sun???

Just turning stuff, buffing system & a few bits & bobs> I was hoping to get a better look at the Kapex & side handle router, for work, but it will have to wait :roll:

Had an excellent day, meeting up with lots of new & old faces, just wish i could find where the kids have hidden my UKWorkshop badge :x

Definitely worth a visit a real eye opener.


I`d also like to say how impressed i was with the work on display from the Leeds collage of art & design, really excellent pieces.

yes, i've only just seen some of it myself for the first time when it was appearing in college ready to go to the show, some real nice stuff.

next year, if i'm lucky, there might be something of mine for you to look at.
