In order to make some dominos
L J on Jun 21, 2015
I like to play dominos. I have a basement full of salvaged walnut that I've not been able to find a project to use on for quite a while. I chose the domino template because I want to create one of a kind domino gift sets for friends and family. Also, I may just try and sell some sets. This template will allow me to fill up spare time doing something I love, working with wood. And use up the walnut

do the domino kits include the wood for dominos?
Stephen R on Jan 7, 2016
BEST ANSWER: No - you get to choose your own - denser is better for a better hand feel of the dominos
How thick should the domino's be? Rockler discontinued the blanks and now have to veneer the wood with the woods that I want. Thanks for the help!
Charles H on Mar 2, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I just made them from solid wood and to the traditional domino size and use the standard 1/4/' thick

I bought this like 6 months...
I bought this like 6 months ago and i made like 4 sets already. At first, its a little challenging but with practice it gets better. I used a table saw and a miter saw to make them and I added my little personal touches to them. IT took me quite some time to make them but I was happy with the results. This was my second set on the picture as you can see they are personalized. Hope you enjoy it if you buy it. Oh, and its way better to use a drill press if you have one instead of a hand held drill!

I recently used the Domino template...
I recently used the Domino template & bit to make two sets of dominos & found it easy & fun to use. My dominos were made of American Black Walnut laminated to a Birch face. I chose a more blandly figured piece of walnut for the dominos as it wouldn't be to hard to memorize what the pattern of pips (dots) was on a particularly fancy figured domino. I didn't have to worry about stacking blades or using a band saw to cut the dominos apart. I was careful about matching the wood to the dimensions of the template. Then used a marking knife to scribe cut lines to lessen the chance of the blades chipping the pieces. Then two passes on the tablesaw to cut the working piece in half. To safely cut the pieces apart I used a stop clamped to the fence of my radial arm saw & an Irwin Micro clamp to clamp the cut off piece safely to the fence. The next sets I make, I will orient the template across the grain of the working piece instead of with the grain. This will have the wood grain running with the length of the finished domino instead of across the short side.

Good Idea But?
I bought this product about 3-4 months ago. The set is a good idea and works pretty good but...the design of the templates are not designed for the way boards grain runs. If you use the set as is you have to be very careful laying out the dominoes. you need a 6" board and when you attach the template to the board the grain is running across the design. This turns the weakest part of the board in the wrong direction and the domino will break very easy. You have to use the guide in a very clumsy way and you will end up wasting wood. Old men like me forget....yep but with this the youngins will also get caught. I wasted 3 beautiful oak boards. Love the idea but the designer seems to never have done any wood working, just sit behind the desk and draws out plans. Rockler should get the design turned around and made correctly. Ken Rinehart

What a great template! It was...
What a great template! It was easy enough to follow that my 8-year-old daughter helped me with the drilling. The precision drill bit made it almost effortless.My father absolutely loved the hand-made quality of the dominoes we made for his birthday (Cocobolo with a teak oil finish, beautiful!). As long as you plan well and take your time, this is definitely something that can be a great way to involve your children in woodworking.

Pros: Fun to make, and easy to use.Cons: It can be a little tricky cutting the Dominos out when the peices get smaller, if your not used to cutting small things on a table saw or chop saw. I would have liked to be able to get a double 16 template set instead of double 6, but if the person getting them likes dominos it won't matter.

Family Fun
I made two sets so the entire family could have fun playing dominoes together. Take your time preparing the blanks. I had the best results cutting them out with a Japanese razor hand saw.

I made these dominos as a gift...they were a little trickier than planned....clean the drill bit often...recommend a band saw for cutting the individual dominos. The box was fun to learn to build as well. All things considered, a great project and plans.

dominoes for christmas... slam dunk
My family went bananas for these. I thought it was gonna be a dumb present, but now a new term called "dominoes jealous" has been coined. That's folks that know about the dominoes I made and didn't get any...
The v-groove router bit from Bosch was about $27-30, the roundover bit was about $18-20... The jig was $35ish. After you spend time veneering and making material... you're $100 in before you know it and you thought you were spending about $40.
Other than that... great jig. All 11 sets came out perfectly. Even the chipped veneers on the one set that wasn't glued properly looked authentic and cool. Meaning... even the mistakes look cool.
Jig and drill bit are easy to use and are a fun family type project.
After making these in the shop I saw the Target version of plastic dominoes and pleased to see that I'd saved a lil money by mass producing them from scrap in my shop.

Overall, a good present for folks.
These are old wood shelving from WVU's old library. Sanded/found walnut veneer on cork on poplar.
