Have you used any for exterior application, Leon?

Yes. But most interior. There are specific Dominos tenons made for out
door applications.

I'd wondered about that...they should stay dry-enough in the application
but the more extreme temp/humididee swings made me ask...what's the
difference in the splines/tenons, you know?

Sipo Mahogany tenons

Many old windows weren't actually glued; they simply used a headless
nail as a "peg" in the joints. With the advent of modern glues, I
believe commercial windows now are universally glued; probably with
urea-formaldehyde or the like I'd presume...

I would be clueless on both counts. ;~)

The large Domino will handle up to 3" deep on both sides IIRC. Tenon 6"
long. But I may have missed something in the OP post. I understood that
he would possibly reuse old wood and repair joints. The larger Domino
would work for that.

I wasn't aware there was anything that large available...then again,
there's never been a dealer where I've been located; I've never actually
seen one of them live...

Sorry, actually, 19/32" to 2-3/4" (15-70 mm, 5 mm increments) but you
can buy tenons in lengths of up to 750mm long, Cut to desired length.




If they're cut as I suggested, I can't think there'd be any
time-savings, either; one gets multiple joints in one pass on the ends
by coping whereas each has to have both ends done as individual
operation otherwise; four operations per joint, total.

Certainly if building new! Again I thought he might be repairing and
using the old wood.

Seemed to me he had discounted the idea as too many too far gone...otoh,
I'd be likely to be dissassembling and making pieces to fit; probably at
higher level of effort and time than building new simply to salvage as
much of the original as could...just on the principle of the thing.


Sure, at a certain point repairing can be more trouble than simply
building new.
