    Oak and burr oak jewellery chest

    Hopefully someone would like to see a commission I've just finished. This came via my box making site although obviously a chest rather than a box. It was made for an Australian chap for his wife, and will be shipped to Australia when he has finished working in the UK. The overall sizes are...

    This is a question mainly for professional kitchen/wardrobe makers. Have you gone over to using a domino jointer for face frames and doors. I have a mortiser and a tenoner so have always used those but a friend of mine who makes mainly kitchens and wardrobes joints everything with a domino...
