Thank you Morris. As a side, I priced 4x4 oak. IIRC around $600 for the
posts. No thanks. I ended up building plywood posts, hollow in the
center
and cutting 3/16" thick oak veneer to glue around the perimeters. I saved
about $550 doing them that way. ;~)


I'm guessing your Domino contribute significantly in the building of
the entire project. I wonder how much increased building time would
have been needed if you'd had to build it entirely out of tenon and
mortise construction.



Lots of Domino's in the towers 100+, about 40 on the bed and 4 in the light
bridge.
The Domino was a real time saver and the accuracy was key on the towers.
Several Domino's in half of the tower outer panels, and 32 Domino's to join
the fixed shelves and 4 outer panels on each tower. I used stub ttnnons on
the panels that had framed panels.
