    Default Exploded Domino chair.

    Something different. Here is a chair I made up to show the components and domino technique to join up a chair and the 3 different mortises for the curved back splats. The chair is Eastern Mahogany and Red Gum splats and glued up with West System epoxy. Had a ball making this

    And well put together too, I checked it out at the show

    It really showcases how well the Domino works, but I still haven't forgiven yet Lig, for helping Groggy spend my money
    Cheers

    It was either spending it on a Domino or good beer and bad women. I hope you made the right decision

    Love to see a pic of the finished product.

    Shoot Lig! I was expecting a dominoed chair and a packet of C-4 plastique.

    Very informative, I'll have to give it a go.
    Cheers,

    Bob

    I can see the problem - your dominoes are too long or the holes aren't deep enough

    Nice work as usual Lignum. Nice style, good choice of timber and well put together

    At lest I’m one who is never known to respond to some good ol fashion fishing. But i did feel guilty not using biscuits

    [edit] - Its the normal way i join chairs, but whats not shown is the 4 large corner blocks i epoxy in. They would have looked silly for the chairs demonstration purpose.

    And Lignum's chair looks even better in real life. It's a nice piece of work and great demonstration piece.

    We use it in our Festool Workshop to show people thinking of a Domino machine what a simple joint it really is, and some of the more advanced techniques - the domino mortices for the back splats are in a curved cross/rest rails.
