How to build Kitchen Cabinets on a budget

What happens here

Set up a Festool Domino jointer (DF 500 Q) to cut mortises on the mating edges of the 3/4 inch maple plywood drawer box components. Apply wood glue to the mortises and insert dominos (loose tenons) to create through mortise and tenon joints. This method provides exceptional strength and alignment for the drawer boxes.

Goal: Employ a Festool Domino jointer to create through mortise and tenon joints for strong and precise drawer box construction.
