I put in some shop time this week

[dino drosas]

I finally got back into woodworking after laying off for quite a while. I decided on a chest of drawers for my bedroom. With about fifteen hours into it, I have the carcass finished and ready for trim moulding and some kind of bracket feet. This part went pretty fast but will slow down now and the onto the drawers.

FESTOOL DOMINO!

Love that little machine. Worth every penny IMO.

Very nice use of the Domino. I have been biased towards stopped dovetails, but this looks like an excellent use for this tool.

What kind of wood, mahogany?

Dino, good to see you back in the shop. Nice work.

The Festool Domino is definitely "the ticket". I cut 48 mortices for the floating tenons in less than 1/2 hour and everything fit as planned. FAST AND ACCURATE. This is the one tool that Festool makes that has no equal.

Very nice work thus far!

What type of joint did you use to attach the plywood sides to the legs?
