Wood joining techniques
Hand carved joints
Hand carved joints are one of the most sturdy wood joints made. They take many years of practice and high precision to make but can calibrate the craft and design.

Nail and wood glue joints
Nail and wood glue can be used together to create quick joint. Most of the strength comes from the wood glue bond which leads to a weaker structure than a hand carve wood joint.

Looking toward the future of Festools design language, I aimed to reflect the precision and strength that define their Domino jointer. By introducing bolder chamfers and more defined surface transitions, the form communicates structural integrity and premium craftsmanship, reinforcing Festools reputation as a leader in high-performance, professional grade tools.
