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

Domino Template
This last purchase is my third template purchase I have worn out the first two templates. This is a very easy way to make dominoes. I would highly recommend it to anyone. The set and box shown below are made from solid mesquite. The box lid even has an imprint purchased from Rockler.

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.

Domino Template
The domino template worked great. I first made the domino's using walnut lumber. I am now making the domino's from Polywood. This is much easier. The material is easy to work with and needs no finish. Plus, there are many funky colors. I have made 20 sets and the template still looks like new.

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.

It does the job
I mass produced eleven sets of dominoes as holiday gifts. It would appear that the template would work better on the veneered blanks. Mine were made of solid eastern maple, using paint for the dots. After the blanks were planed to thickness, drilled and routed, they were sprayed with clear sealer. I then sprayed black paint on the faces. When that was dry, the blanks were planed enough to get rid of the surface paint leaving only the dots. There was some minor clogging of the drill bit. I tried using contact paper to mask the dots, but the drilling did not work well. It left large tears and holes.

Made 7 sets using reclaimed wood.
The first set I cut up with a hand miter saw. This worked but it was time consuming and they were less uniform than I'd prefer. The next 6 sets I cut with a movable jig on my band saw, which worked much better. I did have some breakage based on the grain but I wood glued them back together and all is well. I used a mitertable for my Dremel to round the edges and v the middle. In all they turned out quite well,

Excellent Product But!
I have used the unit many times now and really only have one gripe. The template is made so that your wood placement will be against the grain when cutting and the grain is across your domino, which I think weakens the domino. I try to turn the template so the grain runs length wise with the domino. Most boards are cut so the grain runs from one end to the other. It just makes it easy to cut with the grain running wrong as far as I am concerned. Other than that its pretty good.

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.

The jig is easy to set up and drill, like the others said it is dangerous to cut the small pieces on the table saw but after taking a few minutes to make a jig it was easy and accurate. I made one set out of black walnut and one set out of zebra wood, they will make great Christmas gifts.

Interesting project. Not difficult but a pain at times. I thought I would beat the system and prefinish my domino blanks before drilling and cutting. Bad idea, the drill casing makes circles around the dots in the finish. My second set was unfinished until the end and then it is a pain to sand and finish the little pieces. The dots are 3/16" diameter and I made a 3/16" 60° groove to match. It looks too fat to me and I would suggest backing it off to 1/8 as long as your veneer isn't too thick. Take your time and it's a good project. Use a bandsaw to cut the dominoes apart. If you're set up to resaw a straight line they'll pop apart in no time. Otherwise you may have to straighten the sides by sanding. The box was easy. Just be sure that your dado blade and box joint jig are spot-on. I made my dominoes out of paduak with western red cedar faces and the box from Bolivian rosewood. Very nice.

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.

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

Overall not bad
The concept is reasonably good. The instruction could be better and there are a few tweaks that are absolutely essential if you are stickler for uniformity of size, minimizing tear out, etc...Also the method of connecting the template to the blank drive you a little mad if you are anal about everything being perfect. Drill bit is not very sharp. All that being said, I was able to make a passable set of dominoes on the first try. I did change the order of steps indicated on the directions, made the blanks a wee bit oversized and planed them down to size after connecting to template and built a couple of jigs/fixtures to help with repeatability and tearout.

Well, after using this product I...
Well, after using this product I loved the fact that is easy to use. Set the template and draw the holes. Now what I didn't like is that, even though the bit is sharp, you still get chip out, second, once you make the groove and cut your stock in two long pieces, it gets pretty tricky to cut the last dominoes. Another thing I didn't like too much, was that you are limited by the veneer thickness, as far as design. If you would rather have a two tone domino, the bit will only go so far, hence, it's almost imposible to have a symetrical 2 tone piece. You can go around it by veneering both sides, yet its not quite the same. Last once you have the pieces, they are not very heavy, and for some reason, my mind just expects the dominos to have the same weight as their plastic counterparts. Overall its a good jig, provided you can find your way around some design limitations. Nevertheless, its easy to use and affordable. :)

Dull drill bit
The pattern was fine but the drilling jig was awful when you drilled in any type of wood it would have wood tear out and build up all around the drilled hole that would have to be sanded so much that you cant use laminate nor make the piece look professional looking. When all the holes are drilled it looks like a 5 year old did the project. I had to make a new drill bit and modify it to work in the jig.
