I find that many people are calling this Dominoe method of producing a Breadboard joint as an easy or trick method, should realize that this isn't a breadboard joint (or breadboard end) anymore. This is one reason it is easier since it isn't the joint anymore.
This is a specific kind of joint and using dominoes has varied so far from this joint as to not be this joint anymore. I would also challenge those who think that it is, to consider if one made in the same way with dowels would still be a breadboard joint or if the dowels were totally eliminated and used a butt joint was still a breadboard end.
It isn't the application of a board across the grain which produces this joint but the method of joinery, and the reason for doing this joinery in the first place.

Thanks for sharing your well thought out perspective. I personally feel the board is technically still a breadboard regardless of the joint, but I do understand what you mean.
The first time I attempted a true draw bore style breadboard, I failed miserably 😅 which is why I went with this method instead.
Now that I think about it, I’d like to try to true drawbore style breadboards again since I have some more experience.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I dont pass out compliments lightly, but great execution, and I will definitely be using this method in the future..

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Thanks Billy!

Interesting technique and great explanation - I will try this out.

Thanks Tak!

Very cool video! Question could you use the domino to create the elongated slot in the tenon?

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Yes! I just did this on a bed frame I’m working on - keep an eye out for the video in a few weeks.
The 8mm cutter is almost the exact same size of a 5/16” drill bit. As long as you can keep the domino lined up, the 8mm bit works perfectly 👍🏻

@@mmcc_woodshop6288 awesome thanks for the response!

[@stefboulas]

can biscuits be used to attach a breadboard? Nice work!

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Thanks Stef! I wouldn’t use biscuits.. they’re typically only used for alignment and too thin to provide structural support at the joint 👍🏻

What would you consider a good breadboard width for a 6 foot by 4 foot table?

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

I’d go with 4.5ish” width if I was building it 👍🏻

[@jjhi2760]

I made the table top and attached the breadboard as you did, but after I applied the stain and top coat I noticed that the ends of the breadboard were lifted and a little above the table. Any Ideas as to how to fix it so the are completely level with the table?

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Hmm, I wonder either the domino fence wasn’t set to the same height, or if the angle wasn’t set at exactly 90 degrees. You might be able to sand/hand plane it down flush, otherwise you may have to cut the breadboard off - you might be able to drill/pop out the dowels and pry it off. Not a quick solution unfortunately.. hope you’re able to get it fixed 👍🏻
