Construct Console Side Panels with Domino Joinery
At 9:19 in
I Built a $3,000 DIY Outdoor TV Console
What happens here
To address the length issue, L-bracket pieces are made to extend the console. These are joined using a Festool Domino jointer, creating tight-fitting mortise and tenon joints (dominos) for superior strength and alignment. The Domino system allows for adjustable mortise tightness, with looser settings used for initial dry-fitting and tighter settings for final glue-up, ensuring perfect alignment without relying solely on clamps. This method avoids exposing end grain, providing a cleaner aesthetic for the visible portions of the console.
Goal: New side panels are constructed for the console using Festool Domino mortise and tenon joinery to create strong and aesthetically pleasing L-brackets.
