Stumpy builds a hand held mortising machine inspired by the Festool Domino!
Goes back a few years and I just discovered it. What a beautiful classic! Your sense of humor is golden. Made me smile.
Finally, a woodworker who understands "tool snobs"! Nice videos and a great sense of humor! Keep it up.
This may be a 6-year-old video, but he gets me every time! I use dowels and sometimes two side by side, for "more glue surface". I loved the crack "smells like China". Thanks for the belly laugh!!
This guy is awesome - a completely unique take on everything and a breath of fresh air. You sir are a wizard - and I should know because I'm British.
How could anyone not love this guy he is not only a talented craftsman (craftsperson?) but he is humble enough not to take himself too seriously. We come to TH-cam for entertainment and education and Stumpy Nubs provides that for FREE PEOPLE !!
Thank you for all you do for all of us woodworking enthusiasts at the hobby level. Your videos are top notch and humorous and extremely informative.
I am a Festool Nut... but I still SMASHED the LIKE BUTTON... Great Job Stumpy
Just purchased your plans and started building this today. You weren’t kidding, it’s not too difficult to build. Thanks for the plans!
I actually miss this stumpy nubs. Such an awesome sense of humor
Just because you HAVE a premium tool dont mean you gotta BE a premium tool!
This was HILARIOUS! I’m sorry many didn’t find it so entertaining. Guys shows you how to save $1450 and you want it in 30 seconds...let him do his comedy thing. He’s exceptionally talented at it!
What, no one caught the "breadsticks" burn at 10:15? That was my favorite!🤣
Thank you, James. Excellent video!
Festools are great, and whenever I'm in my nephews shop I enjoy the hell out of them. Then I come home and - like you - sit down and figure out how take the tool I need. Years ago when I raced a Lotus 61 formula Ford, I needed to build a new, Hewland Mark series gearbox. All the tools for setting up a new gearbox cost thousands of $$$. (Kind of like buying Festools)?!?! I figured out what I needed, used the old gearbox for pattern making, and made my own tools. My gearbox worked so well, several of my competitors came and asked me to build them new gearboxes.... Keep up the good work!!
man u made my day ... I have worked with people who have some festool tools and man they think that they are the best and they just make u feel that even if u have all the skills u still very poor because u don't have a festool ... and they look down at u
... materialistic.... thanks for the video again and thanks for making my day
Stumpy I love your older style of presenting.
Guess I'm a little late to the game--the most recent previous post was five years ago. I watch wood sites frequently enough. Stumpy Nubs is a cut above the others. This one was terrific. Even if I could afford Festool I wouldn't spend the money. Given the prices they must be great tools. But I'll never know. I don't even know anyone who owns a Festool product. I won't build a homemade version of the domino machine either since I do woodworking for fun and cutting mortise and tenons isn't all that difficult even in the old-fashioned way. I do have a bisquit joiner and that works fine for most projects--you can double them up to get something more akin to a tenon. I may be wrong about this but I think bisquits swell slightly from the moisture in the glue which helps to make a really tight joint. Thanks for a great video.
Wish I could give this two thumbs up. Best commentary ever, Stumpy. I could probably afford some Festool stuff, but can't see spending that much (a lifetime of frugality is why I could afford them). I recently splurged on a Beadlock Pro, which also uses loose tenons. But the drill I use is a Craftsman Professional corded drill I have had for 25 years. Keep up the great work, Stumpy. I love your imagination - and your delivery.
Thanks, David!
Watching your videos is one of my favorite 'guilty pleasures' and this was among the best. Thanks for all that you do...and keep doing it.
Man. I love your humor so much in this one. Think of bringing it back to your new videos please.
Best episode I have seen from Stumpy ... not only was it informative, I stopped fast forwarding because I did not want to miss a comedy easter egg.
Seriously miss this version of him. I have been subbed to him a long time and was pretty sad when he stopped. Bunch of people complained about the humor for some reason. I was hoping eventually people would find these videos and think like I do and then become the mob that makes him go back to the humorous videos lol
We all would love to have a domino machine but I can’t afford to spend a 1000 dollars to get one. I’m looking into getting a dowel machine. Love your videos.
I love it. Over at the car guys' site it is Snap On; for woodworkers it is Festool. After Lemello invented the equally over priced biscuit joiner, there were cheap knock offs, galore. I wonder why this has not happened with the Domino. They must have a great pattent attorney. After the SawStop fiasco, maybe nobody wants to risk it. There is also the Dowelmax that makes floating tenons with a simple jig and a drill. The jig permits you to drill overlapping holes and the tenon mirrors that shape You can buy their tenons or buy their router bit and make your own. Way cheaper, way simpler.
I liked this video. The end-product was fun, creative, useful and the anti-snobbery message was therapeutic without being vengeful.
so many Stumpy one liners! My favorite " you know I like to make jokes " killing me !!
for different size mortises add a 1/8'' _ 1/4'' piece of plyxie glass between the jig surface and the work piece table , this will allow the 1/4 '' bit to cut a 3/8'' - 1/2'' mortises , or aluminum but would stay away from wood, due to moister expansion, and warping , great jig
+christophe leblanc -That's a very good idea. Thanks for sharing it!

Or just buy a longer straight bit
I have been watching your videos for a while, but did not know how funny you could be until now!
I watched this video and now my Pinterest account is filled with Festool ads. I guess Google's ad sharing algorithm doesn't interpret context yet. Great video.
James it’s great this video is still relevant after all these years.
To the best woodworking channel on TH-cam.
Something people forget. Tools make the job easier but it's the time and effort put into o a piece that make it great. I have seen pieces of wood work that are beautiful but we're hand crafted with hand tools and seen some crappy pieces done with some expensive power tools. I will take the work done by home made or hand tools and day over over priced junk made with tools that cost more than 6 months of groceries or a year's worth of mortgage.
I must admit I did not get your sarcasm at first, but I get you now and I am here to say I will look forward to your future videos from here on out. Well done on this Festool Copy. Like you said, "2 of every Festool" if you can afford it, funny how IF is the smallest word with the LARGEST MEANING. Seems like my life is based on IF, If I won the lottery, IF I had FESTOOLS, and so on and so on, IF... LOL...
"...smells like China" ...I damn near pissed my pants laughing ! 😂
Your spot on. We'd all like the thousand dollar tools, but can't afford or justify them. I like the fact that you can afford them, but realise the rest of us enthusiasts that follow you can't. Keep up the content it's inspiring.

$1,200 unitasker. Totally over the top. Great video
I love it. I use an ancient cast iron horizontal mortiser, refitted for a router. I picked it up for nothing, but is the heaviest tool in my shop. Kind of ironic considering the small "dominoes" I cut with it. And I am in total agreement with your festool assessment. The more experience I gain, the more I realize that elite "precision tools" are a crutch for imprecise craftsmen.
I sat back and watched all your videos last weekend. :)
Now I have such a hangover:(
All I can say is I have earned a living working with wood for over 25 years and resisted the Festool invasion of my workshop until recently. I now have a Domino XL + the biggest router (OF2200, which I picked up second hand) and they are just very well thought out/designed. I have 5 other routers (bosch, dewalt and an 20 year old Elu) but they dont compare to the Festool. Making tenons with the Domino is so easy (I make my own large Dominos as they are crazy money)
Smooth humor made this fun. Thanks. Great video
Your on form Jimmy nubs. I'm falling over with laughter great video
So true about festool its akin to a religion with some 👍😄
Oh golly!!! That was funny. Thanks for the good laugh! I haven't watched a single video of yours I didn't thoroughly enjoy. Thanks for bringing a little bit of everything to woodworking. Always a good learning experience.
like the sense of humor and creativity. keep that up
I watch a lot of youtube vids. I always hear "give me a thumbs up if you liked it" but I never really knew what it meant. this time I actually I looked to find it and gave you a thumbs up. thank you for a good vid. I won't build one but I do like your style. great humor. and you are right about festool. GREAT tools and the engineering is worth the money...but you have have the money or be using that tool to make living to justify the cost.
having done wood working for a living (years ago) I always bought better grade tools, and not from Home Depot or Sears. my peers did and they would brag about how they saved so much money over mine but they would only last a few hours to a season. many tools come in consumer, contractor or industrial grades. consumers are meant to be used on the weekend. contractor 5 days a week. industrial 24/7. they may have the same rating but they aren't. it's what's inside that counts.
I have 1 1/2 hp a Porter cable plunge router I got at Home Depot because I only needed it for one little job. as long as I had it I thought I would use it on another plowing a 3/4 by 11/16 900 foot run in waferboard for a heating tube. I got about 20 feet and that NEW PC was huffin and gruntin like it was on it's last leg. I switched to that old 1 1/2 hp and it purred like a cat right through it and was ready for more. same size, same hp rating.
if I make a pile of dough and retire and do a lot of hobby work I may buy some of the festool stuff, but until then I will get by with what I have.
I built the this mortiser for my bosch gkf 600. It serves the purpose of making mortises quite will. However, the height adjustment is very difficult to use. Height and angle should be adjusted separately but by no means together!
Therefore, i plane the device on the bench top and adjusting height with shims.
Angle i adjust with the wedge jig
LOve the way he did this episode, a little more personality than usual. I always learn something here
His old videos were all like this..some people complained about the humor and ruined it for the rest of us..I still hope when a new video comes out he will let it in again but sadly no
Very cool video, you just saved me more than a few thousand dollars by not getting hooked on expensive tools I cant afford!
Thanks Much!
'Wanna have some fun head over to one of the Festool forum and post a Harbor Freight coupon' - killed it with this video Nubs!
Have the festool. love it. Luxury for sure but speeds up production work.
You had me at "Smells like China."
Nice video Stumpy. I learned a new method of solving a problem and thanks to your I can actually build it myself. Thank you Stumpy. Always enjoy you humor and videos!
I failed the test...as a hand tool worker I bought one for cabinetry which consumes more of my time now. It saves me so much time I never regretted the over $1000 (that’s the small one..there’s a bigger one). The plunge track saw is beautiful!
(Don’t judge me please). I just can’t help myself..they do so much right...god help me I might sniff their catalogue again!
tyvek05 > I do use it in my new furniture production studio but it can never come near the house or barn restoration or antique furniture restorations. Among our several mantras is that if the tool did not exist (or was not used) originally on what we are working on it cannot be used now. No shortcuts..ever.
Tyvek - thanks for showing that hand tool snobbery can keep up with the rest. A lot of thoroughbred horse riders love their Porsches.
Corvus E. Do you have a problem with me personally? I think we can have different approaches for different applications. I don’t believe that I should bring out new tools to work on antique building restorations, cabinetry or furniture. On the other hand I have no problem using power tools on modern projects. It’s personal preference and customer preference. I also make my own hide glue and match period materials with period pieces. Whatever the customer wants...and what the market will bear...it has nothing to do with snobbery. It’s a personal preference.
You made me laugh so much you should be in movies. Thanks for making my day I needed that. You had me in bits. Nigel UK, England.
Just built one from your plans. WOW! It's amazing. Great plans for only $8. Did some minor mods to it yet kept the same concept. Did up the first test board and it came out just a hair off. Made an adjustment to the fence and too care of the issue. Very impressed.
I was thinking about making this as well. How has it held up over the last 2 years? What modifications did you make?
The reason I stopped using a biscuit jointer was the mess it created. You can use a domino and there is no dust. Not a speck. Their sanders suck up all the dust. If I live longer by not breathing in that dust then its money well spent. Also they really hold their value. I sold my ETS as I did not need that model anymore two years later for 30 dollars less than I paid for it. I took a bath on my dewalt contractor table saw selling it a year after I bought it so I could get the Bosch. Which I love by the way. Not the spitting dust at me part though.
Very good bud!! Loved the humor and your ‘out of box’ thinking!
Loved your humor, spot on. You and "this old tony" are hilarious and enlightening.
GREAT and fun video. America need someone like you Mr. Stumpy Nubs. Thank you for your contribution to help other who's with less fortunes. We the poor thanks you and the people all over the the world thanks you with your geniuses. LOVE your video. P.S. I was about to go and give blood so I can have money to go and buy those fastool domino joiner. You just save my life and now my kids can eat. Have a wonderful day.
I love how you didn't backtrack on the festool thing, CHEERS mate!
People can be funny about their possessions whether it's tools or cars or grills whatever. The sediment still applies. That was so funny. Now these new fangled tools are pretty amazing but it there really an advantage to a biscuit, domino, dowel or using a home made mortise and tendon? I used to cut a mortise in two pieces of wood and cut loose tendons many years ago for jointing boards that would have high stresses, it would seem to be similar to this domino idea. Been about 30 years but I am getting back in the game and all these electric tools are fascinating to me.
I don't own a domino nor do I have interest in one. That said....LOVED the video and actually laughed out loud a few times! Well done sir.
I don't even need this yet and was just looking for CNC machine stuff but this is great. Nice work sir
This is now a "must view" site. It's 5 a.m and I'm up for this!
Mr Stumpy, I enjoyed your project idea, light hearted sense of humor and the “Alter Ego” character. Yes it is true most of us don’t drive a Bentley Mini van as the family truckster w/Garfield cat in the rear window.
I did spen $180 for a SnapOn belt buckle and got a free torque wrench. Now, 20 years later, they won’t re-calibrate the torque wrench due to no parts and the buckle broke. Oh well. Enjoyed and WoW, nice shop.
🤔 if you already spend 180$ for a belt buckle, then you certainly have a few thousand for a cnc-mill over.so you can then make yourself a really cool homemade custom belt buckle with😉😉
You crack me up! When I scroll thru my subs and see yours it makes my day a little bit better. Thanks
And THAT made my day too!
Your not the only one! Best delivery on TH-cam!
But you forgot to paint it that obnoxious shade of green!
This one is going on the list, right after the new & improved box joint jig.
Love it!
That would be great to paint it in the same co,ors. And letter it Messtool
Stumpy, I love your humor and am always thrilled when a new one of your videos is posted. This one has to be my favorite (so far)! Even though I have several Festool tools and I love them, the snobs that buy and rant and rave about them drive me crazy! Kudos for "it smells like China" and "post a Harbor Freight coupon". Died Laughing!! RIP
LOL! I love your attitude. Great video and build. Thanks very much.
Posting a Harbor Fright coupon would be hilarious! I'm still laughing! You crack me up Stumpy!
I agree.
Thank you very much. I like to view your videos. This domino cutter is handy.
I like your style and congratulations! Looks like you got that whole "how many tacos can I buy with all that money I saved " thing figured out. Based on the size of your waistline!
Didn't know you could draw so well!
The value of your project just went way up , that orange Chinesium plastic is quite rare.
Absolutely love your program particularly this show it's amusing insightive and extremely helpful thank you I just subscribed
I really enjoyed this video, love the snarky humor 😂
Loved the video. Funny and never saw this style yet. Checked if it was recent then saw 6years!!!!
Awesome work! Definitely making one of these this summer when my garage is habitable to work in.
How'd it turn out?
I have watched a bunch of your vids man and I gota say good job I really like the honesty. Got a sub from me.
I love this video! This is why I watch! Funny,entertaining and informing
Great intro dude! '400, so you know it's better!'
Love the vid and the DIY domino, my van is worth less than the domino. And then there's the XL!!!
I know old video but one thing I've noticed. Lots of the festool guys will only but festool when there's other brands making the same for far less and likely better. Main point, their drills. I've used them I understand the features are nice. But the $700 drill kit has less power than a $300 Milwaukee kit. And the Milwaukee platform is huge compared.
Still my favourite was one of the finish carpenters on a site I was on (electrician by trade) using a festool SDS drill. 18v drill that was outperformed by the 12v SDS Milwaukee.
Some tools they shine like the domino. But others it's a waste.
Even the wood whisper which this video was somewhat directed to, I see now days using more and more Milwaukee instead of festool.
Outstanding. Humor should always go along with a good project. I like those green machines but they cost more than my business can afford. Keep up the good work.
This is awesome, I wish you still made videos like this..... the dialog was excellent!!!
I agree
If I didn’t have a domino I would build one like this. I had to buy one when I did big furniture orders from resorts and hotels and could not afford to lose time by not having one. I am now semi-retired and don’t have a big workshop anymore, but since I have one I use it even on small private projects. Would I buy it now if I did not have one - NO. For a hobbyist like I am now there are other, cheaper, just as good ways to do joining, like this DIY jig. There are other commercial router jigs available that wil also do the job. But, if you have the money, go for it.
I like your intro a lot and the cocky Stumpy Nubs.Didnt know you had that side. You frightenly look like Stalin with that mustache. Festool stuff reminds me of Yeti products Excellent job on this build. This is one of my favorite videos of yours. I bet you celebrated with an expensive micro beer. The same kind Festool dudes drink
IT'S JUST LIKE EVERYTHING IT'S THE LATEST AND GREATEST EVERYBODY HAS TO HAVE ONE! I WORKED FOR A COUPLE OF TOOL COMPANIES WHEN EVERYONE SAW NORM AND HIS BISCUIT JOINER YOU KNOW HOW MANY OF THOSE WERE SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you. I purchased the Russians plans but way too confusing. I just looked over your plans they look 1000 times easier thank you sir!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!
I built houses , big small and everything in-between. Even a few hospitals and high-rise or 2 , I have good routers skill saws and drill. Most special tools were first bough at harbor freight, or like type stores, the amazing part was that they worked. If we found we would use it a lot then we bought better ones. But the price of festoon tool only TH-cam can afford them . Not because they do that much but they can make that much. I know of one cabinet company that has that loose tenon machine. They got it from a pawn shop to Pl a y with. Other than them I haven't seen the tools working production.
don't know how i stumbled on to this video although i love your other videos, at first i was like get over the goof ball stuff and show me how to make the tool. but since i was busy doing other things i let it play and soon i was rolling on the floor laughing. I appreciate humor, nice job.
I couldn't have said it better myself. Great video and a message that needed to go out.
Don't take my "message" too seriously, I wouldn't turn down any Festool product if they sent it to me!
I would take one also... But I wouldn't all of a sudden think I was better than every other woodworker who didn't have one.
"Charles Neil once called him with a finishing problem"
I agreed , festols are overvaluated power tools, besides the tool does not make the man. Domino is not that important you can get better results with dowels stressing less the wood and yourslef, thanks for a great video !
that sucker is almost 2500CND in Canada. I'm sure i could build a dedicated bench domino joiner using my 1/2 router for a heck of a lot less in fact you could probably buy a mortiser for less and make proper joints. A nice motise in tennon joint with a couple of square black walnut pegs, you can't go wrong.
a plunger router and any size spiral bits and I make my own floating mortise and tenons. Quick and easy
Great Vid Stumpy ! Back to the swing of things again = more tools !
best video from you yet! first 50 seconds!
I know what you mean about this festool craze. There is a guy on here with a shop full of festool but can't make his own cabinets to store the systainers in, had to buy Ikea to get it done. I wear a GMC truck hat sometimes, but I drive a toyota AWD wagon. Nothinn like dreamin...
Mmmmm. Smells like China.
Awesome.
Love the humour and the incredible information in these videos.
Pretty neat build! I think my vote goes to Matthias Wandels pantorouter when it comes to mortise and tenon joints. That thing is unreal
+hookaburns77 Yeah it really is a nice machine. I'm not sure that it's better then his slot mortiser if you want to make floating tenons only, but other than that it's a hard machine to top.
So nice an expensive aluminum one is available.
Love it Stumpy! I can afford Festool, but I have other wants and needs that will always come first.. Like hunting and fishing gear. Im a part time wood worker, full time plumber, hell of an electrician, with more tools than I know what to do with, I cant justify the need for a domino or half their other over priced tools..
Cracked me up when you said you go over to a Festool forum and post haror freight coupons. Hahahaha!
Nice... The Festool thing gets me at times too, but would love as shop full of 2 of each as well!
