Box making course Monday tracksaw/domino

I am holding the first box making course / domino/festool induction tomorrow Monday 12th June

You will learn to use the tracksaw to dimension sheet goods materials, use the mft (multifunction table) fence system to
Make accurate and repeatable cuts,

The domino jointing system is a very accurate mortising machine system along with loose tenons that can be used in all forms of furniture making.
Think biscuit joiner/ dowels on steroids!!

After the course you will be able to make a box, anything from a small trinket box right up to a kitchen cabinet, wardrobe or a full wall tv/bookcase cabinet the only limit is your space and imagination.

It will run from 18:00 to 22:00
If we have time I will also show one method for making shaker panel doors.

Bring any designs you have and I will be happy to discuss them.

Fee £20
Includes materials and inductions on the tracksaw and the domino machine.
Maximum 6 members
You must have done the basic wood induction!

It’s short notice so unlikely to be full but first six to reply are on

Hi Lewis,

I won’t be able to make this tomorrow but I do have a project that some of this may be useful for (I want to make a bee hive). Do you think you may run this again?

Hey @lewisss, I’d be keen to join. I normally finish work around 6 but I’ll try to get away early. Worst case I’ll be 10/15 late, I hope that’s ok. Maybe in a break or something we can talk about those cracks too!

Hi Mark, sign me up!

Don’t worry if you are a bit late

Will definitely be running this again

This sounds a great course but I’m working tomorrow evening so can’t make it but would really like to be on your next one.

Is there room for me i want to join this if possible?

If there is still a spot I’m in

Sorry to have missed this… definitely up for it whenever you go again!

Hi mark! I used the track saw + domino today to work on a frame for the textiles mirror . The design is simple and I used the techniques we learned on monday :slight_smile:

I used 8 5mm dominos. Where can I drop the coins for dominos?

If any of the boxes made might be going spare, I can think of a few places I might be able to use them!
