What happens here

The two pieces cut for the monitor stand need to be reinforced where they meet. The creator uses a Festool Domino joiner to create precise mortises (holes) in the edges of both pieces. Pre-made tenons are then inserted into these mortises with wood glue to create a strong joint. If a Domino joiner (which is expensive) is not available, a biscuit joiner can be used as a more affordable alternative (around $60). After applying glue and inserting tenons, the pieces are clamped together to dry.

Goal: The two halves of the monitor stand are joined using a Domino joiner and wood glue for strength, or alternative joinery methods can be used.

What they say

Hide

too much weight and we'll reinforce it so if you're wondering how am i going to reinforce them so you can use couple of ways uh if you don't have this fancy machine which is called the domino from festool what it does is it creates a mortise which is a hole and you can buy these pre-made tenons and it shoves in there precisely tight and then you can clamp them glue them together and it's a very strong joint if you don't have it it's pretty pricey you get a biscuit joint it's i think you know one for like 60 bucks i'm gonna match book them or match these two sides as best as i can put my little markers down then my use my fest tool and plunge that hole through put some wood glue put the tenon in and put some clamps and we have a table top for the monitor uh so now
