What happens here

Apply wood glue into the mortises and along the mitered edges of the console table components. Insert the appropriate sized Festool Dominos into the mortises on one piece, then carefully join the mating pieces together. Work systematically, using clamps (like pipe clamps and F-clamps) to hold the assembly firmly while the glue sets. This process requires careful alignment as each piece depends on the previous one, similar to a puzzle. If re-doing the project, the creator suggests assembling with glue and clamps, then drilling and driving dowels through the joints for added strength and easier assembly.

Goal: The main console table structure is assembled by applying wood glue and inserting dominos into the pre-cut mortises, then clamping the pieces together.
