Cool... and thorough write up...

Makes me feel only half useless, when others fess up to their oopsie. ability.  That flush cut saw, glue and dowels get more use than most of my other equipment.  I've gone down the track of investing in plug cutters as not all the oopsies can be painted over and timber/grain is a chore to match.

Like the way you "aluminium-ised" the base... Again, nice detail.

Though Jess-Em make great products, I'm still glad that after putting it off for 13 years, I finally bought my Domino.

Now this 

is something both metric and imperial have in common. 

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
