Nice Work. One question. Why would you not use the domino machine on both pieces. I would think that that would give you the best chance of a consistent joint.
Nice video. Subscribed. Question: Would you consider a slight drawbore for those dowels on the ends in case the breadboard wants to bow a little? Or would that restrict the movement of the top too much? I feel that a small drawbore would be beneficial especially if you inadvertently opened up your hole in the tenon with the rasp. Keep up the videos especially on the chair! You are the only guy on UA-cam that I can find that shows the detailed process of blending the joints. Its a scary prospect once you’ve spent the time to do all your joinery. Personally I’m terrified to begin the shaping on my maloof rocker!
Great question. I normally make the hole with a slight arc back toward the mortise. so as the top moves it actually tightens. I didnt here because the wood is very porous and I was worried that the top was going to move quite a bit. ( the moisture in my area varies from about 10% - 65% through the year). Does this answer your question?
The grains are aligned in the same direct in the solid glued side, so that's not an issue. From experience in this method I feel like, yes, it is small enough and the movement is near zero...Also, both will expand further reducing the net difference is expansion.
I addressed the long grain direction....I wasn't clear about perpendicular to the grain...I meant to say....Yes, the outward expansion perpendicular to the grain I feel is fine because it is a very small dimension and they both do expand...net difference is very small.
beautiful build with a lot of new things to learn from, really enjoyed watching it.
Thank you for watching!
Great video!
Thank you for watching along
Thanks for watching
Excellent vid! Gonna have to try that :)
Thank you for watching

I really prefer the table saw for time purposes.....it was super fast, the domino took quite a while. Good question.

@@GaraWoodWoodworking yes it does. Thank you
wouldn't your maple tenon need room to move? or is it a small enough piece of wood that the movement would be negligible?
