1) Submitted by Brian, from Tampa, FL on 6/2/2009 Customer Rating: 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.

2) Submitted by Dave Zenge, from Ketchikan, AK on 11/30/2008 Customer Rating: 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.

3) Submitted by Richard Merryman, from Pahrump, NV on 11/4/2008 Customer Rating: 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.

4) Submitted by Randy McDow, from Atlanta, GA on 5/29/2008 Customer Rating: I also found the jig easy to set up and use, yet the project was not easy to complete, given needing to cut very small parts. Rockler could probably sell more of these if they included plans for a jig to cut the parts, etc. I launched a piece across the room before giving up on getting pieces cut identically and as small as suggested.

5) Submitted by Ben, from Marysville, WA on 12/6/2007 Customer Rating: 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 wont matter.

6) Submitted by Bill, from Lyme, NH on 11/12/2008 Customer Rating: Good idea but the last piece to be cut gets a little dangerous for your fingers without special precautions. I would like to have the depth of cut for the bit adjustable.

7) Submitted by Alejandro Chapa, from San Antonio, TX on 11/14/2007 Customer Rating: 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. :)
