What happens here

Mark the locations for the domino mortises on all connecting edges of the console table parts. Use the Festool Domino joiner to precisely cut rectangular mortises into the wood pieces. This type of joinery, described as a hybrid between dowels and traditional mortise and tenon joints, provides excellent alignment and strength for the table's structure. Ensure proper alignment of the mortises on mating pieces.
