But - if you skip over doing some M&T joints using more
traditional hand tool methods - you'll miss a wonderful,
though occassionally frustrating, experience in your
woodworking journey. The use of handtools gives you
a better understanding of the woods you use, providing
feed back which you seldom get from power tools. And
the satisfaction obtained can make the "making" part
of the journey as valued - by you - as the finished piece.
And often, a hand tool will do the job faster and easier
than breaking out a power tool, setting it up, making
test cuts etc..

FWIW, you will note that I have purposely limited my remarks/comments about
the Domino to those who have a specific need for increasing *productivity*
in a small shop environment, and with a very specific type of joinery ...
one you rarely see practised by hand (floating/loose tenon).

If I owned a Multi-Router and felt the same way you feel about the
Domino,
I'd think about selling the Multi-Router now before the Domino became too
popular, lowering what I could get for the M-R.

Not me ... actually, I think that was Upscale? But my reply to him was
almost verbatim what you said.
