Sorry Splinter, I use 6mm MDF... and don't forget my dowel alignment technique... though using CA glue minimises drying time... especially if I spritz it... but I use a pump bottle making that spritz cheaper than the aerosol can.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
i dont get it,if you can afford a domino you shouldn't have to worry about saving money making your own ? plus id rather spend my time making something with it !
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
Maybe I only had enough for the domino and nothing left over for the ammo 😃
Besides, I have plenty of "sticks" that are not much use for anything else and the tooling to make my own. I can even use different wood species if I wanted to get creative and have exposed domino joinery.
Well, it is (sorta) a free country so I suppose if you would rather pay $$ for dominos made by someone else then that's Ok, I guess. Sorta like just buying your meats pre-smoked and having someone else walk your dog (sniff). I understand, really I do.
Actually I bough a bag just recently since I needed the 10x50's. It is nice to just pull one out and slap it in, but seeing the cost and that I have made many of the shorter ones makes me think I'll just make my own unless I'm under pressure or win the lottery. (Bwahahahaha!)
oh splint my poor confused friend ! im not gonna put ya down if thats what floats your boat buddy but i just cant justify my precious time making dominos ! now i assume your "retired" and have time to burn ? right now i dont and making my own, makes no sense for me !

I'm 5+ years from that luxury, just a po' pauper, living in a box behind the bus station, looking forward to the time I can retire to a nice van down by the river. Come by some time, we can split a box of Gallo!
LMAO !!!!! you got it buddy. bus station,hell im livin behind the trash transfer station !!! not that bad though,youd be surprised the stuff i come up with ! as far as nice van........hell im hoping for a nice camper shell for my 1986 ford truck i can make a warm bed in ! well i think one thing, were both too full of bullshit we cant justify,and i hope we never will have to ? you make my day my friend !!!!!

SplinterGroup ... if you would rather pay $$ for dominos made by someone else then that's Ok,
Splinter, I put off buying a Domino for 13+ years as I had a LeighFMT, D4R and a DeWalt biscuit joiner.
As soon as the brought out their breakdown hardware, I started playing dominos... Now if anyone knows how to make them on the cheap, I'll pay $10,000...
At least they threw in a few dominos (circled) "free".
