I finished the hard part of the drawers, building them.
I build them out of Baltic birch and used rabbeted corners reinforced
with Domino floating tenons. I have built a few hundred drawers this
way and it seems I am still learning how to stream line this process.

If the cabinets were going to be in an uncontrolled environment I might be
concerned about fit later on. But I too will be sealing with stain and
varnish which will aid in stability.
The drawer fronts have a 1/16" gap all of the way around.

From a pure marketing perspective, you easily tie in the Domino mastery with
current television shows. And there has been a glut of new shows recently
with comic book heroes. Soooooooooo....., A Festool costume with a cape
would be appropriate. Can you see Leon as Domino Man, super hero? He would
have two cordless dominos in holsters strapped to his thighs and a Festool
dust extractor on a back pack. I assume that the cape would go over the
dust extractor.
He could fly into various locations, throughout Texas, suspended under a
large Festool drone. He would land, give a quick Domino drawer lessons,
then fly off into the sunset. Maybe one of the home channels would make a
reality series out of it. And it could even feature some good, old Texas
barbeque!
I think this idea would work! Hey Leon, should I sit down and write a
formal proposal to create a new persona for you as Domino Man, super hero?
We could pitch it to Festool. Their advertising budget should easily cover
the cost of creating a super hero. And I would be on board for a reasonable
12% of the budget for an "origination" fee.
Come on Leon, think outside of the box. This could work! ;-)

Opening title sequence: We see Domino Man set down his Domino cutter,
setting the first in a sequence of dominoes to fall. As they fall, they
go past a variety of projects that we'll see later assembled with
Dominos.
Closing sequence: We see Domino Man enjoying some barbeque as the UPS man
pulls up with a surprise package. Domino Man offers the UPS man some
barbeque as he opens the package to see what's inside it... more Dominos!
All we gotta do is get Leon to fill in the middle!

You know, Murphy beds have really improved, and what a space saver.
Nothing can dual purpose a room like that, and most children's rooms
should be set up that way. I saw some a year or so ago, a couple even
a bunk bed arrangement. I've been considering putting one in a spare
bedroom.

Not to detract from the post, but in looking at your photo's I saw

https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb11211/4332857960/in/dateposted-public/
Is there a matching one to go with it?
Something that looks like that needs to be openly displayed.
When you build your drawers that way, they always look so clean and precise=
. I like that look a lot, and no doubt they are probably just shy of bomb p=
roof.
Seriously, I have thought for some time you should contact Festool and be t=
heir Domino guy. I am not being facetious! I only know a couple of guys t=
hat have that tool, but I heard through the grapevine somewhere that the Do=
mino is a great seller for Festool. Yet, I never hear or see anyone using =
that tool except you and never see any examples of its use anywhere!
Kathy and I will saddle up about once a year and get out of town and go to =
some of the towns around here that are in the "The Hill Country" where ther=
e are some artist communities. The artists are different every time we go =
so we have seen quite a few furniture and cabinet builders, restorers, "one=
off" makers, etc. We go north one year, then the next year we go northeas=
t, so we get the Texas Furniture Makers annual show sometimes, the Fredrick=
sburg Arts and Crafts Show, the same in Bandera and even one in Blanco.
Out of all the craftsmen we see that turn out easily produced pieces to the=
guy that has a custom wet bat in progress at his shop, I have never seen o=
ne Domino. Like you, it is a machine they could truly use on just about ev=
ery project. Yet every one of the folks I have talked to over the years th=
at owns one of those shops has never used a Domino and in most cases, don't=
know what they are.
I can easily see you in a gremlin green van touring Texas as "Dan Domino" p=

I've been following yours and Karl's advice, been spending time in

Those drawers look almost tight enough that if high humidity hung

Thank you Robert.
They are pretty attractive but a shade less than DT joints and or box
joints.

Well I think the reps do that and or the stores should be capable of
demonstrating things to do with the Domino. The Domino was my first
tool from Festool, it and the Vac.
I found that making slots, for screws to slip in, with the Domino is
pretty cool too. You know when you have a wide solid wood panel that
needs to be attached to allow for movement.

Kim and I did the Kerrville wood working thing in November a few years

Shimming is a must but attaching the false fronts to the mounted drawers

mounting drawer fronts through over sized holes to allow for
readjustment after attaching. The typical procedure is to put screws
into the front of the drawer from the inside and let the points of the
screws stick out just a bit. Then press the outer false drawer front
into the screw points, remove the front, locate the dimples made by the
screw points, predrill shallow holes where there were indentations, line
up the front with the screws, drive home the screws. And typically the
drawer front is not perfectly placed.
Now,,,,,,I wait until I have the pulls before I mount the false fronts.
I drill the holes for the pulls into the false fronts only, place the
false drawer front into position and place pocket hole screws through
the false front drawer pull holes into the drawer, snugly. Those screws
hold the false drawer front and allow you to open the drawer and add the

Remove the pocket holes and finish drilling the holes for the pulls

Well,... Both of you men have a right and history to feel that at
least once in a while. Neither of you rest on your laurels but seem to
use that for your standard impelling you to do better. A good work
ethic with creative skills goes far.

LOL, Thank you. Those were a labor of love, I built a pair for my
sister and BIL. They had a walnut chest of drawers and a walnut dresser
built by Waterford, IIRC. They wanted me to build night stands to
match. That tested my talents. The tricky parts were the feet and the
columns on the corners. I actually cut the columns "round" on the table
saw. I spent an afternoon doing that.
AND I wished I had Sketchup for the design, instead I was still using
AutoCAD LT.

Good eye.
I first saw that years ago and will never forget how stunning I also
thought it was. At the time using contrasting woods was just getting a
lot of attention on TV woodworking shows ... Leon out did them all.
And, there is also a gorgeous, large jewelry box he made for Kim of
spalted wood, and a glass display case for a client, and a "Texas" desk
that are notable pieces of woodworking.
Keep this up and his heads gonna swell bigger than ever ... :)

Sorry for the confusion.
I had watched a video on making cabinet doors, and the door style he
was the proudest of was doors that fit like your drawer faces do. He
said it was a sign of a true craftsman.

Too bad we can't get royalties on SketchUp Models.
Since I never look after occasionally uploading stuff to the 3D
Warehouse (always out of the altruistic goodness of my heart, doncha
know) I didn't even know you could get this info:
Just noticed my kitchen island model we installed in the straw bale
house in 2009 has been downloaded 3,748 times.
https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=60dc0155e1dffd87b2c2cd006d206129

Yes, but they don't carry all the stuff available in Europe right now,
and they have a bunch of different products that can literally change
the function of a room in moments. I suppose that its because they are
short on RE in the big cities, so their spaces are small, like in
downtown NY where even 10x10 spaces are marketable.
In my minds eye I see that as a place ripe for the multipurpose
furnishing thus making life more pleasant for many people.

Yeah, Swingman has a home full of beautiful furniture too. There are
certain pieces that you simply cannot help but touch when ever you walk
by them. ;~) And he has a few Art and Crafts, or is that Green and
Green lamps that are friggin perfect!
You should get him to show you a picture of his Canasta Card holder with

You do have to pay attention when using inset doors and drawers as
opposed to overlay. Square is a must.
Here are a couple of examples of inset doors and drawers.
I built this Murphy bed and side towers 5 years ago for a customer..
https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb11211/5807616639/in/dateposted-public/
And Our bedroom 6 years ago... It is now in a newer home. I thought I
would never have to move it. ;~(
https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb11211/4436685682/in/dateposted-public/
The bed and tower have a total of 24 drawers. 18 under the bed.
