Let’s switch gears a bit from how the
Domino machine does all sorts of very
precise M&T joints to how it can do many
other things with ease as well.
Wine Service Center
First, let’s look at an interesting wine
service center, this one made from Purple
Heart and Maple Burl. The sides and
back are done as R&S with 10mm thick
slabs of maple burl as the panels. The
doors slide in machined grooves cut in
the top and bottom front frame members.
They have to fit the opening tightly to
look right and feature a very unique
Domino enabled moving pin mechanism
that we will see in detail later.
A curved maple drop fits into a sliding
dovetail groove to soften the opening be-
low the base of the upper cabinet on the
front, back and sides. The top is held to
the legs and upper
frame by tongued
splines screwed to
the underside of
the top. The bot-
tom shelf is held to
the leg stretchers
by wide Domino
mortise slots and
tenons inserted
without glue to al-
low for seasonal
expansion and
contraction of the
shelf.
Let’s build it.....
