Festool Domino Machine Instruction Manual - page 44

The first thing to do is assemble the two 

sides after cutting the groove for the burl 

side panels.  These photos show this se-

quence.

Once the sides are glued up and squared 

with the leg stretchers in place, we can 

turn our attention to building the back rail, 

stile and burl panel and the two front 

doors.

In the photo above 

notice how handy the 

Festool DX 93 E de-

tail sander is for 

reaching into tight 

spots such as where 

the leg stretchers 

meet the legs.  Any 

glue squeeze out on 

purple heart really 

shows once the finish 

goes on so be sure to 

sand very throughly.

The photo above 

shows a booboo.  

When I first started this 

piece I thought it would 

look good with a book 

matched maple top.  

You can see the glue 

up here.  But, once the 

piece was completed it 

became clear that a 

maple top was “over 

the top” so I crafted the 

purple heart top you 

see in the final piece.
